Clutch replacement on an 08 touring

I have a 2008 FLHTCU and the clutch is failing at 80,000 km. I am looking for a new one any suggestions as to what to use other than OEM? I do not want a hard pulling clutch, I want to change all steel and friction plates, also I think I need to change the finger plate as well....any suggestions?

I just installed a Barnett plate set, frictions and steels. Probably the best known clutch plate aftermarket brand. You may find them on Ebay!

I have a 97 king. Swapped out the plates for a barnett set when the spring plate with the rivots exploded.

Very happy with the barnett.

Although I generally like Barnett stuff unless you were having issues and can source the oem fibers and steels at a good price, I'd go oem. I would change the spring to a stiffer spring. I used AIM for their 340lb spring but there are oem 330 and 300lb springs available, I just don't know the part numbers. Your 08 spring(finger plate, lol) is a lite spring like 260.
