Question Clutch basket replacement.......

K I'm a very good auto tech. Never worked on bikes before I'm going to attempt to put a upgraded clutch basket on my 1990 sporty. I got the dealership service manual.......am I going to be able to pull this off? What should I be aware of? Any help would be great!

yes, it is pretty straight forward....when you take it apart, watch the order the stuff comes off and put the new stuff back in the same (reverse) order...
