Default Torque handling capacity...

Does anyone know the maximum torque handling capacity of a stock clutch for a 2004 EFI Fatboy?

The flux capacitor or the clutch? My flux capacitor has been on back order for some time but the clutch appears to be available through my local dealership. Don't think I need anything special beyond stock but was just wondering what the rating was. Only running 100 ft/lb /100 tq here but I've got 125K on the stock clutch. Slips a little bit at 5K rpm up to redline. Going to replace before it gets worse.

My compensator cramped the bed. Not sure if that was related to torque of not. I think the Dyno showed around 95foot pounds. Harley put in a new clutch when they placed the compensator. ESP saved my butt.

No, I'm going to replace the clutch with another stock one since the last one performed so well. I probably could try a few other steps before replacing the whole assembly but since the current clutch has over 120K miles and slips a little just going to bite the bullet and go with a new one.
