On 2007+ bikes, no.

My bike had over 20K when the 54Hs were installed and the stock springs were so unequal in strength it didn't make any sense to chance using them.

New springs were $100.

I ran my bike with 54h's and XIED's with Cycle Shacks and the clutch slipped...bad.

My ride is a 2009 FXDC with stage I. leaning towards SE255. Do I still need to bu the heavy clutch spring. My bike has only 5000miles on it

mileage won't be too bad if you have it tuned properly... using a standard map, your gas mileage will suck, frankly
