I run that spring and a barnett extra plate clutch on my 1990 with similar stats. Has held up fine for over a year so far and the bike is no stranger to holeshots, burnouts, and power shifting. Had a friend run the same setup as me in his '04 with a 95" kit also for 6+ years with no trouble. The spring is noticeable stiffer than stock though. The spring is like $50 and the clutch is $200.

The only way youre going to get a good setup without increased pull effort is to run a variable pressure clutch, like the AIM. One of those with youre stock clutch plates and spring would be sufficient. Costs somewhere in the range of $250-$300 if i recall correctly.

92K 02 ultra and my stock clutch spring and plates doing great. I did put the better ramp in to make it easier by MRC or someone. Now in I think it was 06 when Harley went to the easier pull clutch went to a weaker spring. So just about anything will be better even the older spring.
