SE Heavy duty clutch spring
Anyone installed one on a late model bagger? I was thinking it may help my clutch plates last longer. Do you have to remove the primary cover or can you do it through the derby cover. Thanks in advance.

I would be buying the gasket. Any other problems you can think of doing the swap?

That's a choice - but I have to say, done carefully these can be reused more than once. I've pulled at least 6 primary covers and only ever replaced one gasket - because that's the way the owner wanted it.

Torqe to spec. The bolts can easily be over tightened. Pretty easy job.

I think the SE clutch spring would be overkill for your combination. There are some springs that offer more clamping force without the increase in clutch pull that the SE spring brings to the table. Most folks (myself included) have gone with the -98A spring with excellent results. I was experiencing slippage with the stock spring after going with the FuelMoto 107 BB. I installed the -98A and problem solved. Listed below are some of the springs offered. Obviously the -98A is a compromise between stock and the SE, but it definitely gets the job done.

Yeah, I bought one and didn't need it. The original came off so clean I figured that it would easily reseal and it did. I was going to return the gasket but I figured somewhere down the line, I or someone else might need it in a pinch so I kept it.
