Yeah so I burnt up my clutch, let's not get into how I did that. Haha
It's a stock 15 Bob engine, no plans on any engine upgrades for awhile. I just need to replace the clutch and since I'm in there, any 'while I am at it?' upgrades? Money is an issue so can't break the bank. I will look into anything that only increases reliability. It's my daily so need to get me to work and back.

So I took apart my fried clutch pack.
Gold=Good
Black=Bad
All but the outside 3 were black. No bueno.
Combo of clutch-ups and burnouts makes it a hard life on those little rings. Barnetts Kevlar Extra and SE Spring should hold a little better. But need to take it easy for awhile. It's hard on the bike.

The stock clutch with a SE spring holds up well in my 13 Street Bob with a 120R. A noted H-D engine builder stated that in all the builds that he did some would not spend extra for even the SE spring. What he did was use trans fluid in the chain case as it would squeeze out of the clutch pads faster. The result was the clutch held up well with a stronger engine.
So maybe you needn't speed much money.
