Default Clutch combo

With my engine build I went with a SE clutch spring and the VPC-92T. Is this going to be sufficient with the stock clutch discs or should I swap the discs out? I'm wanting to atleast give it a try. Just wondering if it is enough?

I see a new tranny sprocket there. I remember how difficult it was to get the stock one off so I'll pass on that. I really think if I need more some carbon disks by Barnett would suffice.

S/E diaphram spring & VPC will be A-OK!

I have the same Stage II that you are building. Been using the stock clutch with the SE spring. I have been running it for 2500 miles. (Clutch had 12k on it before I did the engine and installed the SE spring). It has been dynoed twice. No slipping noticed on either dyno run.

I know you have spent a ton of money so far. You will probably be fine with the stock and a SE spring.

I agree, just don't use any fancy derby covers, like the Harley Skull covers etc., the vpc counterweights will hit it and not allow full lock up. The stock Harley clutch is just fine.

I already have the HD billet cover. Sure hope it clears fine. Paid a pretty penny for that item.
