ok..for those who cared..I went with a Baker 9 plate street performance clutch, 37T, and a 24T comp sprocket from BDL, the new design. Had some issues with the primary chain. The 78 pitch Baker sent was a little too small for the bike, had me confused and just about anyone else who I talked to about it, but thankfully I have a 94 FXR so I cannibalized that one and used the primary chain..fit perfectly. Couldn't use the new auto chain tensioner that Harley made, so I threw that to the side..$150 down the drain..If anyone needs hit me up, I'll make you a smoking deal..
Anyway..got the primary together, added some oil..now this had been dry for quite some time so I was waiting for some issues..there's alway new issues..Looks like a plug in the S&S motor was missing and oil was oozing out..no biggie..shoved a plug in and away I went!
The 9 plate clutch is awesome! Super smooth shifting. I love it..got about 4 miles in, and my exhaust studs broke..that's another issue that I'm rectifying right now, and I'll report back in the other threads I have going..Just wanted to say the Baker clutch is awesome! If anyone is looking replace their clutch give Baker a shot..Great customer service there, Mark and Linda were very helpful and understanding.
Here's the new primary drive..
There's the little hole oil was oozing out of..I have no idea what was there. We didn't remove any screw from that area
But you were running a dry primary and there was no oil to leak...that hole gets a set screw...really....
yeah we were running dry..He had a plug that fit perfect for the time being and nothing is leaking out. But I need to hit up S&S and see what really is supposed to go in there so it doesn't look like something is missing.

Bent you need a small set screw and I finally remembered that once you put the set screw in you have to cover the hole with some high temp permatex to keep it from leaking.
