First gear slip - help!

First gear slip - help!
'02 1200. The bike jumps in 1st gear occasionally as the RPM's go up. Shift drum is new, new detent plate and retainer (because the old one came off, again). Shift forks are good. Chain and adjuster is good. Clutch is good, cable is good. Dogs on gears are worn, but not excessive. Any ideas out there?

It's almost as if the cluch momentarily releases and then grabs again. It is during acceleration, but not necessarily during hard acceleration. Only happens occasionally during riding but always when leaving for the first time of the day. Neutral to first....pull out of the garage...around 2000rpm it will slip......shift to second, everythings fine. Pulls great through the gears, even first once it gets that first slip out of the way. Sometimes it will do it when leaving a stop sign, especially if I have to feather the clutch a bit.

Local Harley shop has the bike. Replaced the shift drum, detent plate, and retainer after the retainer came off last week. It was slipping before. They're trying to fix the 1st gear slip now. They've checked the clutch, gears, etc. and everything looks ok. After waiting 3 days on a call back from Harley Tech Service, they are told by H.T.S. that we need to change the spring plate.
