They make 502-00-01004 which is listed as a "Standard Replacement", so probably about the same as a stock one.

Im running the barnette 502-00-01008 clutch plate was told from the company it was 340 lbs. the pull was quiet a difference over stock but slipped on the dyno after a couple pulls. installed the AIM VP95LT VPC and no more slippage and the clutch pull with the engine running is very acceptable.

I had the Barnett HD spring for a year. Suffered through Sturgis traffic with it. I ended up ditching it for a Aim VPC, which I'm very happy with.

Yeah, the lbs I was quoting comes from "Max" over at HTT who tested multiple clutch springs - I think he is pretty accurate with his methods and it seems like everybody that has used both say the SE is significantly easier.

So got a question, at what horse power or mileage does the stock clutch spring needs to be changed? Also what's the benefit for going aftermarket ?

90hp+ I would change, so cam swap along with new spring.

I've heard bad things about those, such as clutch slippage & engagement issues.

I installed the SE spring tonight ,and the pull is alot easier over the barnett ,but a little stiffer than stock.I think it will work good for just doing cams.
The parts guy at Harley did try to talk me into going with the SE variable pressure clutch,but for $300 and only done cams I think it will be a waist of money,unless just doing the spring doesnt work out.
