5. The King Kong Klutch comes with 20 one-sided 7-inch diameter friction plates to balance temperature and heat dissipation. Heat is the main enemy of clutches, so each plate has a proprietary high-energy friction material for friction efficiency and longer life.

7&8. Here you can see how much larger the 7-inch Baker King Kong Klutch plate is over stock. Then here's a closer look at the two: the difference between the stock H-D clutch on and the Baker plate.

9. The starter ring gear is a 66-tooth design and 23-percent thicker than stock. As you can see, the starter ring is part of the outer basket, making for a one-piece design, unlike stock, in which the ring gear is riveted onto the clutch basket. With this clutch assembly you need to replace the factory 10-tooth starter pinion gear on '93-'07 bikes with the Baker 9-tooth starter pinion gear (Part No SP1000). Stock H-D on the right, and the Baker 9-tooth on the left.
