Default Just an after thought....
This is for all you performance junkies out there..... with a Fuel Moto 107" kit and "B" level head work accomplished, TW 555 or TW 777 cams, Rhinehart Duals, HD Stage I kit, and Power Commander V installed, would I need to upgrade the factory clutch on a 2012 Street Glide to handle the additional TQ and/or HP? Still building this bike in my head.....this would be a daily rider and pull two up on the weekends....thanks in advance for the feedback...

Yoll need a heavier spring or an AiM lockup pressure plate. Ive seen the stock clutch with a lock up hold 163 hp just fine.

I went with just the spring for my 107" build with the 555 cams. However, in the fall, when I do my headwork, I will go with the AIM lockup clutch as suggested by Jamie ......

Many thanks, Frog13....as stated, I'm still "building" this bike in my head. When I get my income tax $$$ back I'll start the build and keep everyone posted as events warrant....
