I now have the blue... My bike is a stock police 103. and I can say while it doesn't slip, it feels less "snappy" on hard shifts. If I had to get more grip, I'd remove the judder spring and put a full width friction plate all the way on the inside.
Wow so the stock 103 spring is no where near the screaming eagle spring

Maybe give it a chance, I put the SE spring in on a whim,(saw it in the new catalog) Took it out after one short ride,But then the stock spring felt weak and I could make it slip in 5th with a heavy roll on the throttle like passing. So I put it back in and added a Diamondback Cable, Got used to it in a couple days. now it feels normal and that thing really hooks up.I like it a lot.

I'm using the SE clutch spring with the VPC clutch on my Ultra. I tried the SE clutch spring by itself but sitting in Chicago traffic hanging on the the SE clutch spring was a killer on my hands.

The SE clutch spring does break in a bit but working the clutch for an hour or so in traffic requires a tougher hand than mine.

The VPC clutch makes my SE clutch spirng pull like stock. Here is the link to the FM page where you can find them: http://www.fuelmotousa.com/harley/en.../fm-vp019.html

Good luck.

Thanks for the info on the vpc. Does anyone have any expirience with the coil spring conversion from Barnett or with the pull on the scorpion clutch?

I just got through a cam and SE clutch spring upgrade. I used the clutchWIZ and it is super easy to pull the lever. It was a concern at first it felt so soft. After a few hundred miles or so I can say that I can't get it to slip and the pull is super soft. You can add the WIZ without pulling off the primary. Just pop off the Derby...best $115 I have spent.

So you can still get it to slip?

Normally with a clutch wiz I think they recommend a 480lb spring.

No I corrected my post. didn't proof read my crap..

I could not get it to come close to slipping in any gear.

Sorry for the screw up.

But knowing what I know now as ridedaddy said, I would have gone with the 480 LB spring.

So you think I should do the wiz with the 480? Who makes those products?
