Default What Clutch Springs?

I have posted a few threads about my clutch slipping. I got it fixed. the new set of springs I put in did not hold the power/torque (no need to argue what is actually is... it wasn't holding, not it is).

So while doing some research, I found out some information. Springs are rated in "N" ratings
The HD website shows these 2 springs for every year bike from 2017 to 2026

HD SE 37000288
Milwaukee-Eight Engine Clutch Springs - 1200N

HD SE 37000286
Milwaukee-Eight Engine Clutch Springs - 1275N

2017 - 2026 both can use the 1200N and 1275N Springs

If you

>The N rating (or N/mm) for springs represents the spring rate, indicating the stiffness or force (in Newtons) required to compress or extend a spring by one millimeter (N/mm)
If you but the complete set:

Replacement clutch springs for the Screamin’ Eagle® High Capacity Clutch Kit P/N 37000287.

One thing to note. 1200 newtons is 270 lbs of force. I doubt it's 1200N / mm. Also I doubt it's one spring but all of them at a preset height. So 1275 is 287 lbs.
