Default Clutch Slipping

I have an 07 FXST with 35'000 miles. She has a stage 1 kit and Rush slipp-on exaust. I was on a long trip this weekend and my clutch started slipping when I passed a truck... should the clutch be going out already?

Any help would be great.

I'd do the clutch adjustment procedure on it and see if that takes care of it. If not, time for new packs.

I have a 103 CI with a 106 FP of Tq. I used one of these and never have slippage. http://www.aim-tamachi.com/home.php?cat=3 A Harley cluch should last as long as the motor.

Hey Rocker C, how you like that SE Super Race Tuner? I'm up in the air about the SE Race Tuner and the Thunder-Max Auto Tune.

I'd skip both of those, and get a TTS Mastertune.
