Buckster Posted Tuesday at 20:47 Share Posted Tuesday at 20:47 Fitted a Baker heavy duty clutch throw out bearing today. See here! It increases clutch disengagement and is supposed to slightly increase the lever pressure but I can’t feel any difference, it was a preventative maintenance job as stage 2 puts a lot more load on the clutch and the bearing tends to fail. Next job is the Barnet extra plate clutch kit as the clutch slips under power in fifth and sixth now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be ready to put a thousand dollars your not pushing more than 75 maybe 80 hp at the rear wheel....for 95 hp you'd need big bore kit 103 cubes min... that will bring it maybe to a stage 4.

Marcel Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Just to be clear....you'd be the first Harley with 96 cubes with a cam and a internet download tune to reach 95 hp at the rear wheel....that would a new world record for Guinness ...lol. I swear at time you live in a fantasy world...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
