states fitment: 90-97 Evolution Big Twins, 91-06 5-speed Sportsters and Buell models, it's a Barnett kit that uses 8 friction plates and 6 steel plates rather than 7 of each as stated in the parts catalog. anyone use this set up?

Barnett makes outstanding clutches for our bikes. When I need a new clutch that will probably be the way I go. I ordered a stainless steel conduit clutch cable directly from Barnett (made to order) and can't wait to try it out (I didn't need a new clutch cable, just wanted an upgrade and at the same time install the uograde clutch cable bracket I ordered from Ed at ASB).

thanks for the info, but the kit I'm referring to are of the friction and steel plates in the clutch pack

looking into another kit by Barnett, 306-30-20015 and also the Alto carbonite kit, which EBR sells, but out of stock

Let us know how you go.

How many miles are on your current clutch pack? Are you replacing it because of a clutch failure?

The Barnett kit that is for the XB clutch is 306-30-20015. The stack height of the 49-8655 kit is not correct for the XB clutch nor does it have the narrow friction plate that is unique to the XB/XR clutch hub.
