Ease The WayTraffic is a big pain, but traffic with a cranky clutch can take even more joy out of riding. Harley Davidson's new Black and Chrome Hydraulic Clutch Kit will ease you through traffic as it reduces clutch-lever effort by up to 30 percent and delivers smooth clutch engagement. The kit complements the original-equipment hand controls and includes a black clutch master cylinder, polished clutch lever, chrome slave cylinder, and all necessary installation hardware. It fits '99-'04 Touring models and '00-later Softail models. Installation requires the separate purchase of the appropriate hydraulic clutch line. While it doesn't make heavy traffic enjoyable, it does make it bearable.

Best Of Both WorldsBarnett's new Scorpion 3-inch belt drives are designed for appearance and function. These belt drives are CNC-machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum and highly polished for a show-quality look. They also feature the company's Scorpion lockup clutch assembly for the ultimate in street or strip performance. The Scorpion lockup clutch provides a 100-percent increase in surface area (compared to stock) and allows the use of lighter coil springs by using adjustable pressure arms that progressively increase clutch spring pressure as rpm increase. Extra spring sets are also included for added adjustability.

Think an Inch Can'tMake a Difference? Think again. Here's the custom bike world's first look at RMD Billet's 4-inch Sphinx open primary drive with outboard bearing support. Using 6061 aluminum, all individual pieces are milled from billet blocks of material for superior tolerances and strength. The motor plate is one solid piece and can house your oil filter and/or regulator. A Barnett clutch is packed inside billet pulleys and wrapped in a high-performance 8mm belt. The Sphinx Outboard Bearing Support was designed, machined, and individually measured to precisely align the front and rear pulleys for superior belt tracking-leaving no guesswork, no misalignment, no torn-up belts, and no loss of horsepower.
