Variable Pressure Clutch for 2018 and up M-8 Softails

California based clutch specialist AIM Corp. (Advanced Innovational Machinery Corporation) has released a new variable pressure clutch design for 2018 and up Milwaukee-Eight Softails.

The VP SDR ST features sliding weights that will create 40% more clamping force over stock at 4,000 rpm, raising the overall torque capacity to 120 ft-lbs with a 20% lighter pull during low rpms. The kit handles up to 105 ft-lbs of torque with the optional soft coil spring kit.
In terms of how this affects street performance, with the OEM 2018 clutch spring it can handle up to 120 ft-lbs torque. For high performance applications, with the AIM Corp. performance coil springs (AM008-005), the torque capacity will be increased to near 140 ft-lbs.


There will be another version available soon, one with a larger weight design to provide even more increased clamping force overall - it will require a 1/4" primary cover spacer to fit the larger weight design.
The VP SDR ST will fit behind the stock primary cover with no modifications (except the spacer for the high-performance larger sliding weight design), so is a fully reversible install.
