When my stocker clutch gave out at 42K my local independent Harley mechanic sold me on a Barnett carbon fiber clutch. IDK if it was related but I soon grenaded my primary as a result of breaking the primary chain during a hole shot, by the time I got over 3 lanes and put her on the kickstand everything inside was bad.

I called Barnett they paid the shipping and went through the unit, replaced just about everything but the carrier. I had to buy a new HD clutch unit just for the basket along with a total of 1200.00 in parts. I decided to install the new parts myself this time and had no problem for 10k miles other than the annoying "walk" or "slip" depending on the springs I used, there was no happy medium, just slip 2 up or under throttle or walk at stops and finding neutral meant killing the motor every time.

I had the entire HD stocker and set out to eliminate that damn walking every time I stopped (long red lights holding the brake had long gotten old) and was talked into a SE diaphragm in which I mocked until the bike was pulling 1st and seconds, of course finding N was the icing on the cake.

Just thought I'd share my expensive lesson, for what its worth I'd more then likely saved a lot BS joining this Forum a long time ago, thus getting answers prior to shelling out the green.

BTW Barnett was very good to me and that clutch worked great for riding like I stole it, but I am getting too old for that.

 

Was it just the Barnett friction discs that you replaced?

When the mess was inspected was the stock clutch basket messed up, I would assume that was the culprite of the entire primary disaster. When the stock basket goes it can cause hell.....I doubt it was anything else.
