Comp Master Clutch Basket
Recommended by many top mechanics and builders - such as Kevin Baxter of Baxter's Garage - American Prime Manufacturing (APM) Comp Master clutches and components "are recognized for their durability, design advantages and choice of materials," says President Ben Kudon.
"We studied the range of available aftermarket billet clutch basket offerings and realized that although some of them are upgrades from the OE basket, they are often still one of the weak link in the drivetrain.
"There is a tremendous amount of force exerted through the clutch especially, in a torque heavy motorcycle - or with a nutcase for a rider! So, we set about designing something that would hold up to that extreme environment.
"Together with Kevin Baxter we have engineered what we believe is as close to a bullet-proof basket as humanly possible."
These new Comp Master clutch baskets are made with high-strength, zinc-alloyed 7075 T6 heat treated aerospace grade aluminum that is as tough as steel but half the weight (7075 is the 'go-to' for superior strength-to-weight ratio). Comparable to many steels but significantly lighter (with a density of around 2.81 g/cm³), it is commonly used in the highest stress aerospace and defence applications (and bike frames) it offers high yield strength (approx. 500 MPa).
"The material allows us to manufacture these baskets with ultra-tight tolerances which helps to stabilize the clutch, which reduces premature wear." Each basket comes with six bolts, and three lock clips in an attractive four color retail box. They are available for 2007-2017 Twin Cams and M8 models.
