  • Best Clutch Source

    Time to replace the original clutch discs in the 64. Is there a specific source that is better or best for a stock application? I prefer to do repairs only once!
    Thanks and Happy New Year

    I use Alto red clutch discs in my shovelheads, they are oil tolerant and last. Others may say differently, of course.

      I use the standard, no name brand I'll call them, packaged by Drag Specialties, Bikers Choice, V Twin, etc...They are quoted as OEM replacement typically and have a green color hint in the friction material. They are NOT Barnett brand or Alto which is why I call them no name...imported from somewhere over seas. They have worked as a stock replacement clutch friction in the shop for my customers for 30 plus years. While I've experimented with many others, I've always gone back to these. I do like to use them with the Barnett replacement steel plates. Be sure your studs on the center hub are smooth, your frictions when installed don't bind and your pressure plate settings allow an equal release and you'll be very happy with the shifting and neutral locate abilities of this clutch set up.

        I to have found the same as you dukekleman, sometimes the no name brand stuff works great!
