Lynn,
Can you describe in what way it was remarkable? Not trying to be funny, just curious to know what you like about it.
Matias,
The clutch in my bike is not only stock but the 1990 original, except for the addition of a stronger Barnett spring, to cope with my S&S 107. That gives 107TQ, so unless your motor is giving significantly more a stock clutch should be fine.
I haven't checked, but I would guess there is a minimum thickness below which the friction plates should be replaced? I told my builder, who installed the 107, don't replace things that are still serviceable. Don't 'fix' your clutch if it is still fine!

Is not like that the stock doesn`t make a good job, but It`s seem cheaper a kit like these one www.jpcycles.com/product/630-802 than buying the OEM one. Maybe is a local dealer issue.
Doe`s anyone have experience with rivera clutch discs?
Best regards.

renegado,
I don't have any personal experience with Rivera clutches, but Rivera and Barnett used to both have very good reputations for clutchs and other products. However, I suggest you pull your existing clutch apart and inspect it before ordering. At 50K miles, your original clutch is probably just fine, unless you have been seriously abusing it for that 50K miles.
