Clutch plates for a four speed shovel
Have a buddy that bought a 4 speed 80 superglide that needed some TLC took it to a indy shop and when he got it back im finding he got fn robbed!
Needed a new carb so they put SnS (B) carb carb on it with WRONG not even close to fitting filter, a cover off a SnS (a) carb that only two freaking bolts would bolt up n then not even go tight.
He is NO mechanic and my wrenching consists of if I don't have the manual or a harley Guru over my shoulder to show me the first time I don't do it till I can get one or the other!
Yesturday we were riding and his primary stated smoking like a chimney and no grab. I trailer it to the house to find three bolts on bottom of primary GONE as well as all the oil and all the rest finger tight! Clutch adjustment was not even close to right.
My question is can someone point me to the proper clutch kit in Jnp or Dennis Kirk or someplace so we have a idea how much he looking to spend?
I'm learning and wrenching mostly myself on my twin cam but internal on a shovel is a little far back for me, I've never looked for parts on one (YET)

Get a shop manual. HD one is best but a Clymers will do.
A chain primary set up on a Shovel is not sealed like on newer models.
S&S has a website with technical information. You can go there to determine exactly what carb is on the bike and get tuning tips as well.
