V-Twin Expo 2017 review, part 8



Energy One: Clutch specialist Kent Foltz (Santa Fe Springs, California) says all their clutch kits come complete with friction and steel plates, and the extra plats kits include springs. The friction plates are made with a maximum groove pattern for heat dissipation and oil circulation, with either 6061 T6 aluminum or high tempered steel core, with their race proven friction material. All steel plates are made with high tempered steel and vibratory deburred for extreme flatness for positive engagement and performance;  www.energyoneclutches.com
