Barnett Clutch Kit For Harley Softail / Touring 2017-2026
Barnett M8 Clutch Upgrade: Unleash the Power of Your Milwaukee-Eight
The Barnett Clutch Kit for 2017–2026 Harley-Davidson Softail and Touring models is the definitive answer for riders pushing their M8 engines beyond stock limits. As torque figures climb with cam chests and big-bore kits, the factory clutch often becomes the weak link. Barnett Performance Products, handcrafted in the USA, offers a precision-engineered solution that provides the “bite” needed for aggressive acceleration and the thermal stability required for heavy touring.
Kevlar and Carbon Fiber Friction Technology
Barnett offers two industry-leading friction compounds to suit your riding style:
- Kevlar (Aramid): The gold standard for longevity. These plates feature a high-density compound that offers twice the life of stock organic plates and a smooth, progressive engagement—perfect for daily riders and long-distance tourers.
- Carbon Fiber: Built for high-heat environments. Carbon fiber has an incredibly high tolerance for thermal stress, making it the ideal choice for high-horsepower builds, track use, or heavy-duty towing where clutch “glazing” is a risk.
The Extra Plate Advantage
For maximum performance, the Extra Plate Kit (304-30-10020) re-engineers the clutch stack. By utilizing thinner, high-strength tempered steel drive plates, Barnett fits an additional friction and steel plate into the stock basket. This modification results in an 11% increase in total surface area, allowing the clutch to hold significantly more torque without the need for an impossibly stiff pressure plate spring.
Precision Engineering & Heavy-Duty Springs
Every Barnett kit is pre-measured for the correct stack height to ensure a “drop-in” installation with no machining required. The kits include three heavy-duty coil springs (for models with Assist & Slip clutches) or a diaphragm spring (depending on the specific part number) to provide increased pressure. The steel drive plates undergo a proprietary vibratory deburring process to ensure they are perfectly flat, which eliminates clutch drag and makes finding neutral effortless.
Fitment and Compatibility (2017–2026)
Designed specifically for the Milwaukee-Eight platform:
- Touring: 2017–2026 Road King, Street Glide, Road Glide, and Electra Glide models (including CVO and 121 VVT).
- Softail: 2018–2026 Fat Boy, Heritage, Low Rider S/ST, Breakout, and Slim.
- System Compatibility: Compatible with both cable-actuated and hydraulic clutch systems.
