Which AIM VP Clutch
I am looking for help on which AIM VP Clutch to get for my 2008 FLHRC. I currently have a 103ci with Woods TW-6 CAMS and had the medium duty SE spring installed. I have bad carpal tunnel in both wrists and now I am having problems holding in the clutch when stuck in traffic. Can you guys recommend which one would help reduce the clutch pull yet not cause slipping? Would you recommend the VP70T, VP84T or VP92T?
Thanks
Thanks

I am running a 70 over an SE spring in a Stage II TC-88 (95-cu. in,) on a heavy trike and have no problems with clutch slippage. I truthfully think that you could use the VP70 that offers the least clutch effort and be fine. You are trying to achieve the lightest clutch-pull effort possible and that would be the 70. Now...if you plan to pop-wheelies or go drag racing....that's another story. AIM may recommend another unit for your particular set-up, but I would get the 70. It all depends on your riding style. The 84 would give you a bit more insurance if you want to occasionally get aggressive, but you only get a 20% reducstion in effort. I do not think the 70 will give you any problems and I can pull mine with two fingers and hold it in all day long. If you had the stock spring....I would recommend the 84.

I also run the 83T, but with a lighter spring than you. REAL easy clutch pull with great bite. I run the pre-03 spring (Part # 37871-98A). 114 TQ with no slippage. And I shift hard sometimes.
I love this combo!

You can go "Google-up" the AIM website and they will sell it to you directly. Make sure you get what you want, They have changed the designations from the 70T, 84T, 92T to other designated model numbers in certain parts of their literature. I would contact them and make sure what I was purchasing. Msocko3 says he has an 83T and I have never seen that number on their website literature, but it can be a bit confusing.
BTW....installs in about 15-minutes.

I would use the stock spring and 84T or if you want to save some money and see if it works for you, get the -98A 330lb spring and replace the SE spring with it. The -98A spring is less pull than the SE, but plenty enough to handle a 103" engine. The -98A spring is only about $30 and the VPC will run you about $300.

The 84T is what I would recommend to a new user. You can build your motor quite a bit, before needing anything bigger than an 84T.
