I never really saw the need to use a high performance clutch pack in a Harley....

Unless you are really brutal the standard clutch is good for many, many miles...

Might be worth it if you were running a highly modified bike on the track, but our engines aren't putting out enough horsepower to justify a high performance setup. (Just my opinion, but I've alway believed in not spending money on something that really isn't needed)..

Thanks for your advise, but that's not what I was asking for.


BTW, yes my bike is modified and yes I beat the **** out of it.

I also believe in spending money frivolously. So bring on the billet baskets and heavy duty plates![sm=americanasmiley.gif]God Bless America!

You're also gonna need a couple of "special tools" to open that clutch basket. The tools will cost ya more than the plates.

Thanks Man! That's a start to what i'm looking for.

I go about 270-275lbs. on a moded N and I can feel the clutch slip from time to time. The plates are a good start,but if I'm gonna do it, I'd like to do a billet basket and pressure plate as well also heavy springs.
