OEM fiber plates and steels with a Barnett spring and a VPC 95LT, holds 150/150.

I'm pretty sure I've glazed the clutches. Didn't want to just change the spring and open it back up again.
Maybe I'm wrong.

Top of first gear. Sounds like the back tire slipping to me. I get a little slippage in fourth or fifth rolling on hard at 2500 but just avoid that by shifting down and no problem.

FSG plate 37883-98 is replaced with small friction disc. concave plate 377884-98 is retained unlike SE clutch set both are discarded.  Hillside the aim 95 plate is a great set up except many guys dont have the extra bills for it. the other problem is for little guys the clutch pull is pretty high at high rpm shifts. Props to you my dyno guy says your heads flow the best he has seen and we use mackie and branch.   :up:

I have the stock plates, SE spring and SE VPC on a 140/140 117"... no slipping.

I understand stock clutches are a good choice. Alto clutch sets my cost $ 100 bucks and work great in all HP configurations. Win win

Update.....took clutches out. Have to say the old fiber plates looked mint. I'm suspecting the diaphragm spring just wasn't doing its job. However I stuck the new clutches in and HD spring. So...let's see how that goes. I jumped on it a couple times without any slipping.

Update: all went good. Well.......haha.   It is my opinion that my clutch friction was in very good shape & that my stock diaphragm spring just couldn't hold, weak or what have you. Save $130++ and try the s.e.spring first.

 The instructions didn't say anything about pulling drain bolt back in. Easy guys......
