Clutch spring selection help
Fellow brethren and ladies,
Looking to make the right clutch spring choice and clutch ch plates. The bike info:
2015 Road King
CABLE CLUTCH
Dyno tuned
HD Screamin Eagle tuner
HD 254E cams
HD heavy breather
Thunderheader
The transmission is apart for a spun bearing on the case. Now is the time to decide what to do with the spring and clutch plates
The service writer and I talked and he suggested the HD screamin eagle clutch plates with the screaming eagle clutch spring
I really like the stock clutch pull of the stock spring though. Reading the forum brought up a third option with a trike spring which is in between the two (stock and screamin eagle being the two other choices). So:
STOCK lightest pull spring
TRIKE medium pull spring
SCREAMIN EAGLE heaviest pull apring
I should also mention that my clutch has been slipping for the last year in higher gears when the load is highest or the leverage is highest or however you say that...
The clutch plates are in great shape and no burning on the clutch contact parts. The shop doesnt even recommend new clutch plates, but I just want to do that while its open.
My feeling is to just put a new stock spring in with the mentality that my stock spring has lost some of its rigidity from the beat down I deliver each ride. I have 30,000 very hard miles on it. I do burnouts regularly and continue shifting very hard through the gears often (especially after those burnouts).
For me, the best logic decision is to go with the medium spring (and also what the service writer thinks might suit my needs and preferences of not having a heavier pull SE spring) and the screamin eagle clutch plates.
What do you all think on the situation from you experiences and based on my needs too?!
Thanks in advance

Best possible thing to do is, get an AIM variable pressure clutch. I believe mine is the vp 84

Went with the Barnett Kevlar clutch plates and the screamin’ eagle variable pressure clutch Part Number 37000121A, which is the exact same part as AIM/Fuel Moto variable pressure clutch (I called AIM and talked to them)
Thanks for everyone’s input. Definitely couldn’t be happier with all the help and never would have found these parts on my own.
So excited to get back to burnouts and no clutch slippage in higher gears
