Default Clutch slippage

Just got my ('06 FLHX)motor pumped up to 100/100 and now have a stock clutchthat won't handle the xtra power. I've researched the variable pressure setups but was wondering if HD had a heavy spring that would be just as effective or would I be better off biting the bullet and installing aheavy duty Barnett (or equiv.)unit. I surecan't dyno the machine the way it is now and need a custom map. Any help is appreciated, Thanks

Default RE: Clutch slippage

I just had a 95" build done on my '06 Dyna, heads, cams, fatcat, etc and the builder put in a real stout heavy duty clutch spring and I have had no slippage at all. It is a handful to pull in the clutch, he said there is one in between stock and this one he can put in.

If you decide to go the VPC route rather than a heavier clutch spring, send me an email as I have a couple of VPC clutches for sale. I bought ones to put on our bikes and bought a couple of extras at the time, to sell. A heavier clutch spring would probably work by its self but also will create a heavier pull at the clutch lever. sdavis49 at agristar.net
