Clutch / Damper Seat Spring
Since my clutch has around 60.000mls it feels pretty worn out (very short engagement). I will get a BDL Energy One Clutch.
As BDL says "remove all of the OEM friction and steel disks and dont reuse them." I wonder wether I can leave old the Damper Spring and the Damper Seat Spring in there or would it be better to get new ones?
A Buddy told me just to leave them in they wouldn't wear out. Is that right?

figure you've done the adjustments available for that clutch including spring adjust.
On my Hi-Po 88 FXRPolice, I used the Barnett Kevlar clutch kit with stock steels, basket etc. ( you do need to inspect and replace any warped or burnt steels)
It has really held up now for 80,000 miles and 20 years- and way low cost.
Just a suggestion if you haven't looked at them. Barnett been around a long time

Yep, Barnetts are pretty good, but the BDL's will do, as my ride is pretty much stock.
Do you remember changing the Damper (Seat) Spring?

Adjustment- I meant the diaphragm spring, which was adjustable on the earlier ( 88) design- sorry!-
looking at the parts diagram, I would suggest changing the damper spring and seat- it's spring metal so could wear over time and loose it's flexion.
I think the barnett kit cost me about $60 back then, the kevlar kit for your bike is about $120 in the US...so likely more in DE. part number is 302-30-10013(K)
