Default Replacing the stock M8 clutch springs?

I just had a few questions concerning clutch springs on my 17' Road King.
1- I'm thinking of going with H-D, from what I've read here they're hard to beat but which will work better, 1200N or 1275N?
2- Is there a set that're better than the H-D offerings & my search-fu was just too weak to find them?
3- Does the 1200N set have "-SUB" after the part number like pic below?
Thanks in advance for the help guys!

The 1275 work great! I went to them when I went with the 128, and left the stock disc set in. They will definitely help with any potential for slipping.

I used the 1200N springs on my 131 and they worked great. Lever pull was only slightly more than stock. They held 139ft lbs of torque. If you're not concerned about lever pull the 1275 probably is the way to go.

Thanks for the replies & help guys! I decided this morning to just go ahead & get the 1275N springs. 1 ft/lb of lever squeeze difference just didn't seem like a big enough difference to not go with the heavier springs.

-SUB means this package was part of a Kit at one time. Nothing wrong with the parts.
