Title: High 130s build clutch needs.
Post by: 838 on January 26, 2019, 10:49:23 PM
Build should be pushing high 130's 140 squared. Build currently has Harley's VPC and SE heavy spring. Would Barnett extra plate kit be overkill or insurance?

Barnett X-plate kit / S-E spring  and AIM  VPC does it on my 124".  139/141 SAE

I'm using the Barnett extra plate Kevlar, plus the BDL ball bearing lock up on my built 120.
Running a fairly sticky sports compound tire , and appears to work well.

:agree: Super happy with the Bandit on my 120" for the last 6 years. Their support is second to none.

If you're making big power and adding a clutch that grabs a good basket should be included.

Good point.  All supporting parts have to match the threshold.

I have a Bandit Sportsman in my RG with a 124.
Couldn't be happier. As they say, set it and forget it.

  I see you deleted your post the same time I replied.
I agree with the "Bandit".  :up:
If your going to make some serious power...buy a Bandit and be done. I went down the clutch road in search of a clutch that would hold over 130 hp. I ran the Primo Pro clutch with their lock up, and a Barnett with their lock up. Neither has held up and delivered the power like a Bandit clutch has for me. I have clutch graph sheets from the dyno that proved it to me.
  I also agree...when you get to the power level your talking about a stronger clutch basket is also needed.

I would like to add that the Bandit Sportsman is holding my power without a VPC type of device.
