Barnett Clutch Kits for Evo Applications
EVO
Our thanks to Ventura, California based Barnett
Clutches & Cables - the first vendor to respond to
last month’s AMD announcement that we will be
looking to highlight product throughout the year to
celebrate the 35th anniversary of Harley’s now
“officially venerable” Evo platform.
Depending on the application, these Barnett clutch
plates for Evo models are made with Kevlar or the
company’s exclusive carbon fiber friction plates. They
feature a ‘segmented’ design, which is proven to
increase oil flow and allows the plates to run cooler
for longer life and smoother, more consistent
performance.
In addition, the carbon fiber friction material has a
very high tolerance for heat, “making it an ideal
choice for street or track.” Barnett drive plates are
made from tempered steel and quality checked for
flatness. All complete clutch kits are pre-measured to
for proper stack height “to ensure smooth, reliable
performance right out of the box.” Available for 1941
to present Harleys.
Also seen here, Barnett’s Scorpion low-profile lock-
up clutch features a redesigned billet aluminum
lock-up pressure plate that is designed to fit under
the stock primary cover on ’90-‘97 Evo Big Twins,
without the need to change or modify the cover.
As with all the company’s Scorpion clutch designs,
the surface area is greatly increased, and lever effort
is kept to a minimum. Three different coil spring sets
provide a wide variety of spring pressure options
allowing the rider to tune the clutch for stock to
200+ hp applications. A steel inner hub is also
included to complete the unit.
All Scorpion clutches are designed to fit into the stock
type clutch basket. “The versatility of the Scorpion
makes it an excellent choice for stock to big inch
motors, and ideal for Baggers, two up riding and
pulling a heavy load. In addition, the lock-up
pressure plate is also available separately as a retro-
fit to existing Scorpion clutches.
