Is that their Stage 1 Kit?

 

Yep. I got the forged hub and 10/84 pinion/ring gear set, too.

Cheers!

 

This was yesterday... Put on my new Saddlemen Explorer seat. Then took it off!
Damn thing moved me 2 1/2 inches forward! Not comfortable at all.
The sad part is that I really liked the look, but function comes first for me!
I'm sending it back to Dennis Kirk today..

 

I'm partial to the OEM seat, especially yours with the Red Medallions, You should consider Mean City Cycles. It's well worth the money and probably wont cost you as much as that Saddlemen did.

 

Replaced the timer cover because chrome.

 

Make sure to post up what you think of it...

That is one of my top choices for my 124" bagger...

 

I've put around 300 miles on the clutch, and it's as smooth as butter right out of the box. Finding neutral at a stop light is a little hit and miss, but I imagine that will improve with some break-in. Right now, I'm using ATF Type-F as recommended by Evo Ind, but I have a quart of Spectro Primary oil that I will try. I usually use Redline Primary oil, but Evo Ind specifically says not to use synthetic, so for now, I'm going to follow that instruction. The medium springs add some pull to the clutch lever, so I've ordered the light springs, and am going to experiment with mixing them up, or even just going with the lighter springs, if they can hold the power from the engine.

Just looking at the parts, they're MUCH beefier than the stock clutch, and I really like the steel splines pressed into the hub, as opposed to the cast aluminum splines in the stock hub. I ordered the forged hub, so I don't know if that's a feature of the cast hub.

Just FYI, the main reason I settled on the Evo Ind clutch was because it was the only one I could find that came with the hub. All the other manufacturers seem to only sell the basket to be used with a stock hub. Just the size difference, of the plates, between the Evo Ind, and stock/others, and overall beefiness of the components, makes me feel like it was the better choice regardless. Another thing I really like is that they use 5/16-24 (1/4" Allen drive) socket head cap screws, with retaining cups, for the springs. I hated the tiny 4mm button head screws that the Barnett pressure plate kit came with. In fact, I stripped out 4 of the heads when I was removing them for this install (seems the HD tech really cranked them down when reassembling the primary).

I'll follow up as I put more miles on the clutch.

Cheers!

 

This is exactly why I am afraid to buy an aftermarket seat off the Internet. Sorry to see your post and hope you get it worked out.

 

Not to be a know-it-all, but, generally speaking, you should not be looking for neutral at a stop light. Should stay in 1st gear and have an exit strategy planned if some drunk person or texter is about to rear-end you. You need to be in gear and ready to move.

 

Looking for neutral at a stop is a test I regularly do to check clutch adjustment.

Cheers!
