It is no secret that Harley’s ‘Street’ models are “built to a price,” and one of the component issues that are being widely acknowledged by dealers are the clutches – whether the stock clutch is really “man enough” for serious riding, especially serious urban cycle riding, and if performance upgrades are being installed.
This new clutch kit for the 2015-17 Street 500 and 750 from Californian specialist manufacturer Barnett includes 8 friction plates, 7 tempered steel plates and a set of heavy duty springs. Featuring their exclusive Kevlar friction material, the design of the plates is said to allow more oil flow for cooler operating temperatures and longer clutch life.
Barnett have been manufacturing clutch components since 1948, and this experience means they know how to produce application-specific reliability, durability and performance improvements to the stock items their designs replace. These Street 500 and 750 kits include shot-peened and heat-treated clutch springs with tempered steel drive plates that go through a vibratory deburring process, then are quality checked for flatness to provide optimum performance.BARNETT CLUTCHES & CABLES
