Sorry for the double post but on the way to work this morning the friction zone on the clutch kept changing. Something seems wrong, no?

 

Well, the first Harley link you listed HERE clearly says "Fits '99-later Twin Cam-equipped models and '98-'99 Evolution® 1340-equipped models".
The second Harley link you posted HERE clearly says "Fits '91-later XL models and '94-'97 Evolution® 1340-equipped models".
Don't you know what bike you have???

If I had it to do over again, I'd go with the Energy One pack. Based on many user reports, the Energy One seems to have an easier clutch lever pull and is a quality part.

WARNING: Every mile you continue ride with a failing spring plate, increases the risk of total clutch basket destruction, and that's going to be costly.

Sounds like you need to take a look. You've check primary chain too, correct?

What's the price differences between Barnett, Energy One, and Screaming Eagle? Also, with the extra friction, you may want to stick with a close to stock diaphragm spring so your clutch effort is kept reasonable. I hear a lot about the Energy One, for what it's worth.

You still need the clutch tool, what's the good and bad of those? Or are they all the same design. I heard one is more easily used than others.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I know what kind of bike I have. Thanks though. If you notice on the site they are both listed under the 2007 XL1200 Custom menu selection. It's more of an issue of what kits would be the ones I need to fix the problem (if the problem ends up being the common problem of the rivits coming out).

 

AJaBra,

I believe your center clutch spring plate is gone but you will need to confirm this. The work disassembling the clutch pack is not that hard but the tool is not cheap, @ 70 USD in the US. I made my own from scrap steel it pushes the clutch spring in so the 3 legged tool is best.

Don't ride the bike much till you view the pack, the basket will get badly hurt if you run with the rivets out as they smash up the basket.

Good luck.

PS: the Barret has the pack and tool. but there is cheaper.

Yeah, thanks. I emailed Energy One asking if they had any coupons available before I order a kit from them. I'm going to pull it apart as soon as I can order one and get it in. I'll update with what went wrong.

 

I ordered Energy when my clutch started acting up, as a temporary relief I replaced the spring plate with two steel and one friction plate which a friend of mine had in his drawer. Guess what, now thousands of miles later the Energy clutch is still on my shelf.

 

The Energy One kit I ordered had the extra plates
to replace the spring plate... eBay
I can say the performance is much better
over stock especially after my 1200 upgrade.
I decided to use the E 1 pressure plate over
the SE plate that came with the 1200 kit from
HD.

 

Bought the $40 Barnett tool,works just fine

 

Well, my point actually was if you do not have an exclusive 100+ BHP setup a few extra plates addition to the standard clutch will do.
