You need the 10 plate clutch assembly. Since I am upgrading a cvo bike, it has the clutch already. The drive belt is fine with the increased power.

Also interested to see how this turns out as I am not far from you all. Would love to maybe hear that engine sometime. Im in Bristow but ride out that way frequent (always West/ South from here, never East toward DC).

That 131 will be close in performance to Indian's Challenger. I test rode the Challenger and that bike has some *****. The Challenger is different in that it pulls all the way through the gear. Glad to see HD try and put something out that is at least close.
I had a chance to hear one of these 131s in person at Motown Harley here in MI. It had S&S 2-in-1 exhaust. It definitely goes brapity brap if you are into that kinda thing. I'd love to have that engine in my SG.

20% off parts and labor is a good deal. I'm building a 128 right now on my CVO, you should make sure the clutch can handle the power, you may need the AIM variable. What exhaust are you running? Air cleaner?
