Barnett Scorpion Clutch For Harley Big Twin 1941-1984

Billet Aluminum Construction & Superior Stability

Unlike the cast components of the past, the Scorpion features a CNC-machined billet aluminum pressure plate and a high-strength steel hub. This construction ensures perfect balance and concentricity, eliminating the “clutch chatter” and vibration common in older bikes. The hub is designed to fit your stock-style clutch basket, providing a “drop-in” performance upgrade that transforms the way your bike shifts and responds.

Tuneable Lever Feel with Coil Spring Technology

One of the greatest advantages of the Scorpion Clutch is its adjustability. Instead of a single, stiff diaphragm spring, the Scorpion uses six heavy-duty coil springs. Barnett includes multiple sets of springs with different tension rates, allowing you to “tune” the lever pull to your preference. You can achieve a light, easy pull for around-town cruising or maximum spring pressure for high-torque drag racing applications.

Unrivaled Friction Surface Area

The Scorpion kit utilizes a significantly larger clutch pack than the OEM setup. By using Carbon Fiber friction plates and tempered steel drive plates, the kit provides a massive increase in total surface area. Carbon fiber is chosen for its incredible heat tolerance and durability, ensuring that the clutch won’t “fade” during heavy stop-and-go traffic or aggressive high-speed runs.
