Default BDL vs energy one high performance clutch?

Should I go with the BDL high performance or the Energy One via DK customs, and why? Is there a better one out there?

I had an energy one clutch and it would squeal sometimes on take off. I put in a Barnett clutch and it has worked perfectly.

Yeah, its plenty strong for a 1200 conversion. I believe madnss uses one in his 120 + HP drag bike.

They're literally the same clutch. Same part number even. Energy One is the manufacturer. BDL private labels it.

thats good information to have. I’ll assume there might be a handful of companies that do that. Same thing as lifter manufacturers maybe.

I've got Energy one w/ the +15% stronger diaphragm spring and it's great. Don't even notice the 15% increase when I pull in the clutch lever, but I do notice it when the diaphragm grabs like crazy when banging through the gears...that's a good thing!
