Barnett Clutch Friction Plates For Harley Big Twin / Sportster 1990-2022
Barnett Friction Plates: Proven Performance for Sportster and Big Twin
The Barnett Clutch Friction Plates for 1990–2022 Harley-Davidson models are the benchmark for aftermarket drivetrain components. Over three decades of V-Twin evolution, Barnett has remained the industry leader by providing plates that offer superior thermal stability and mechanical grip. These plates are designed to replace the fragile factory “organic” friction material, which is prone to glazing and slipping under the increased loads of modern performance upgrades.
Advanced Material Technology
Choose the friction compound that best matches your riding style and engine output:
- Kevlar (Aramid): The standard for long-distance durability. Kevlar is incredibly resilient and offers a smooth, progressive feel at the lever. It is highly resistant to heat-soak, making it the perfect choice for touring and heavy commuter use.
- Carbon Fiber: Engineered for high-stress environments. Carbon fiber provides a more aggressive “bite” and a very high coefficient of friction. It is the preferred material for high-horsepower builds, drag racing, or riders who demand instant power transfer.
The Sportster “Grenade Plate” Solution
For 1991–2022 Sportster owners, Barnett friction plates are the essential first step in eliminating the notorious “spring plate” (or grenade plate) failure. By replacing the stock pack with high-quality Barnett friction and steel plates, you remove the fragile riveted component that often fails and damages the entire clutch basket, ensuring your XL 883 or 1200 remains reliable for thousands of miles.
Precision Engineering & Versatility
Every Barnett plate is CNC-cut and bonded using proprietary high-temperature resins. This ensures that the plates remain perfectly flat and the friction material stays secure even under extreme primary temperatures. These plates are designed to be completely versatile, performing flawlessly in a standard “wet” oil-bath primary or a “dry” open-belt drive application.
Fitment and Compatibility (1990–2022)
This plate set is a direct replacement for the following models:
- Sportster: 1991–2022 XL 883 and 1200 models (including Forty-Eight, Iron, and Roadster).
- Big Twin: 1990–1999 Evolution and 1999–2017 Twin Cam models (Softail, Dyna, Touring).
- Buell: 1991–2010 air-cooled models.
- Note: Not compatible with 2017-later Milwaukee-Eight (M8) models or 2013-later CVO “Assist & Slip” clutches.
