Default opening primary got a ????

I have my 09 street bob and have had a 30 tooth andrews pulley on the shelf for awile. well I am gonna go ahead and put it in but have a question or two.....
i want to do a heavy clutch spring, should I do barnett or Sreaming eagle? they seem to be the same. I also wantt to rid the clunk bang when i shift to 1st at start up, that should be taken care of with the sreaming eagle compensator, right? what would you do? my bike is stage one right now but I plan to go to 103" with heads and cams this winter. is there anything else I should do in there while I am at it? i really only wanna open up the primary one more time for awhile. thanks

To stop the clunk into 1st. I took a members advice, and hold the clutch in for about 15 to 25 seconds while it warms up. The clunk goes away. Haven't had one since.

The heavy clunk at start up many times is caused by cold oil drag on the clutch and disappears when the oil warms up. Try some Redline MTL or Mobil1ATF or Mobil1Vtwin 10w40 in your primary and see if it changes.
