Default stuupied harley

well my bike only has 15,000 miles and the stupied clutch is starting to slip due to harley using a spring plate in the middle of the clutch pack with brass rivits... agressive riding and brass rivits do not mix as my 5th gear slips and clutch pull is very weak

ordered a heavey duty clutch thats 15% stronger than stock and replaces that spring plate with rivits with a soilid plate for longer life

i guess i am lucky alot of people failed and locked up and did major damage withonly 12,000 miles on there bike


so if u have a 2007 sportster or newer and u ride hard expect to do your clutch between 10,000 n 20,000 miles and it will be fine one day and next day u will have loose clutch lever and then u will slip in 5th gear are the only warning signs and if u let it go to long rivits will scar up basket and other stuff in primary making it a costly repair job

i got a good friend that is master tech at harley showing me how todo the clutch job so if anyone needs help in southern florida i will be alot cheaper than the dealer or indi shop!

sorry for the rant and rave just had to vent keep the rubber side down
