BDL High Performance Extra Clutch Plate Kit For Harley Big Twin / Sportster 1991-2022
BDL Extra Plate Kit: High-Performance Grip for Sportsters and Big Twins
The BDL High Performance Extra Clutch Plate Kit is a precision-engineered solution for 1991–2022 Harley-Davidson riders looking to bolster their bike’s power transfer. Produced by Belt Drives Ltd., a leader in V-Twin drivetrain technology, this kit replaces the stock clutch pack with a high-capacity configuration. By fitting an additional friction and steel plate into the factory basket, BDL increases the contact area, allowing your clutch to handle more torque and higher temperatures without slipping.
The Ultimate Sportster Reliability Fix
For owners of 1991–2022 XL 883 and 1200 models, this kit is the industry-standard “insurance policy.” It allows you to remove the notorious factory “spring plate” (or grenade plate). When the rivets on the OEM spring plate fail, they can shatter and cause catastrophic damage to the clutch basket and primary. The BDL kit replaces this fragile component with full-sized friction and steel plates, providing permanent peace of mind and more consistent engagement.
Increased Surface Area for Performance Builds
By re-engineering the stack height with thinner, high-strength tempered steel plates, BDL fits an extra friction plate into the same space as the original pack. This 10–12% increase in surface area means:
- Better Torque Handling: Ideal for 1250/1275 Sportster conversions and Twin Cam Stage II builds.
- Reduced Heat: More plates dissipate friction heat faster, preventing clutch “glazing” in heavy traffic.
- Linear Feel: Eliminates the “mushy” engagement caused by the stock damper spring for a more direct, racing-style feel.
Precision-Made in the USA
Every plate in the BDL kit is manufactured to exacting tolerances. The friction material is a high-density compound designed for long life and excellent “bite” in both wet (oil bath) and dry (open primary) environments. The drive plates are made from high-tempered steel to ensure they remain perfectly flat under the most extreme thermal stress, preventing the clutch drag that makes finding neutral difficult.
Fitment and Compatibility (1991–2022)
This kit is a direct “drop-in” replacement for the following models:
- Sportster: 1991–2022 XL 883, 1100, and 1200 models.
- Big Twin: 1990–1999 Evolution and 1999–2017 Twin Cam (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.
