Default which Clutch do you recommend

1999 sportster 1200 custom

the link is to JPCycles and it takes you directly to the clutches that fit my bike. I kinda want to get he OEM replacement at the top of the page but i have no clue what is a good clutch and what is a junk one. I only have until Tuesday night until the free shipping deal ends so your help is greatly appreciated.

the bike has no power mods besides the normal air intake, carburetor rejet and exhaust.

thanks guys

I been using Barnett for thirty-five years. There may be a better clutch on the market, but I'll never know it.

I put a Barnett Scorpion on my Road King and a huge improvement. Will prolly do the same to the Glide. Can't say if it works on a Sporty but you can check. Mighty pricey though. Paid close to 5 bills for the one I have.

First thing I would ask is what happened to your clutch? How many miles on it if you know? Did you or previous owner ride it hard? Do you plan on riding it hard? On your last couple changes could you smell the the clutch? Do you plan on any performance mods?

If you plan on just normal commuting pleasure riding just go ahead with your choice but for the money I would consider either the Barnett or Primo performance sets. I ride my bikes hard (big twins) and run Primo Rivera Pro Clutch in them. Your choice should depend on how you hard you ride and if you plan on any motor performance mods.
