08 RK id look into the S&S one piece IPB then you dont need any special tools to change it out. Wouldnt hurt to pull out your clutch plates for a look and wash out all the nooks of the inside of the clutch housing. Depending on how you ride the clutch should be fine. Mine has 118k on it and its like new. Make sure your auto primary tensioner isnt making your primary chain overly tight. I believe there should be like 5/8 slack in the chain. If overly tight then it can take out the IPB. Do you have any issues with your compensator. If you do now is the time to change it. Is your stator plug weeping oil cause that can be addressed now also. Cant think of anything else right now.

Other than the IPB. OEM is the way to go.
