Mine did the same after my S&S 97 inch big bore kit plus I am also running SE 204 cams, I adujusted it and put a stiffer clutch spring in, no problems or slipping anymore.
Adjusted the clutch and drained & replaced the fluid. Nothing special on the drain plug but the fluid was like brown soup. One quick run up and down a 1/4 mile stretch seemed OK. I'll find out for sure over the next week of commuting.

Well a couple hundred miles of mixed city & highway later... Clutch seems fine now. The simple adjustment seems to have done the trick. I do still occasionally hear a light metalic "clank" sound when the clutch engages, but no slipping at all.
My 2001 RK clutch has over 50K miles and has started slipping. I've got SE-204 cams and 95" kit. I'm looking for recommendations for clutch pack kits. I'm not a street racer, so I'm not really wanting to spend big dollars, just a good reliable replacement for a reasonable price. What brand and a source please.

Not many miles on a clutch, I had 97k on my 98 Softail and with proper adjustment it was fine...never any slipping.
