budget wise , probably do just the chain and a new auto tensioner ( Hayden ) ??? No slipping or jumping teeth just stretched out , failed to check the tension at 5000 mi , noise and vibration soon followed , rode out easy and back from Sturgis . Starter problem , opened case , Comp nut backer off also found out my front motor mount needed replacing and yes the dreaded death wobble , walked out of a down hill turn on Vannocker road comming back from Nemo . I found HDFORUMS and have been busy learning about my bagger and doing corrective wrenching , 1/4 inch play in swing arm spherical bearing fell apart etc ... Next rebuild front end forks neck bearings , race-tech springs gold emulators . By the way did do new clutch lto can't get neutral so the steel plates are not flat , new clutch kit I will be busy . Just wanted to thank everyone for the advice

Average clutch basket will outlive the bike and most of it's owners. Only time I've ever seen one replaced was when teeth get chewed when hard parts got loose in the primary.
