Is your clutch blown?
If it isnt, leave the stock organics in there and change out the diaphragm. I wouldnt change the basket unless it was trashed or the motor is putting out some serious power.

In my opinion, step into exotics with an open mind. They hook up real nice, but disintegrate in stop and go traffic

Yeah, unless you have a HUGE build, stick with stock. My specs are in my sig, and I have the stock clutch with SE Spring and AIM VP84t

Your not making enough power to even slightly strain the stock clutch so stick with what you have.

My dealer has sold a half dozen 120R equipped baggers and he uses the SE pressure plate

That's also all I've had in my 111hp/117tq 103 FXDXT since the buildup; no problems

The Barnett Scorpion is a great clutch. I have one on my FXDL which has a 117" motor. Unless you have a big motor the stock clutch should be fine. If you do some performance work, a SE spring may be all you need.

Cool thanks guys. I'm thinking about building my 96 to solid 103, so I was throwing around few options, but from what I'm hearing stock clutch w/ heavy spring will do just fine.

The heavy diaphragm spring is sufficient. I have a scorpion I'm gonna install eventually but for now I think I am gonna get the spring

Stock clutch with se spring here. Seriously abused for 40k miles with no problems. I would even run it in a stock bike. The stock clutch spring just has no feel or snap to it, I can't even stand riding one.
