    Hey guys,


    Is there a better than stock clutch available for Sportsters that's not huge $$$ ?  And is it worth it?

    Suit 2008 XL883 (1200 conversion).

    Started slipping.


    Thanks!

    I have a heavy duty clutxh in my 1200 forty eight. It grips hard. Lever is hard to pull in but i like it

    you have good info here, I've had a lot of different clutch on Harley's over the years. I found a bit of slip in the clutch not always a bad thing, I did my testing on a drag strip.
    I think your best bet if you can get a stock plate and steel to replace the spring plate. that will give you one extra clutch plate, so you have more surface area, just leave your stock spring see how it goes. everyone different as we are all different sizes and weight. but try to get away with lightest spring pressure you can makes shifts faster easier and riding in traffic easier. keep away from the aftermarket plates I found Harley plates in stock clutch to be the best.
    if you want a really good clutch bandit machine works make some beauty's I've has bandit super clutch and I've has an s&s clutch both good but had them in big twins think bandit has sportster clutch too. but more clutch than you need.
