Performance Clutch, Tensioner & Compensator For The Everyday Harley Rider | Can Handle Up To 200HP! 

Installed a Baker comp and Rekluse clutch with a Barnett billet basket, Hayden tensioner, new Diamond chain. Clutch was stupid noisy and the Baker wouldn't align even without shims, Hayden part showed excessive wear and cracking at 10k. Installed a Darkhorse comp and BDL extra plate clutch and all is happy.

Im glad you guys addressed the basket divit wear.

One thing about a belt drive open primary is its so easy 2 pull the dry clutch plates out and clean them, you can even replace them and clean inside so you dont get bad wear. Wet clutch is nice though just change the primary oil and ride and they work good too.

Rekluse love mine , had it for several years.

You guys rock I’m always learning new shit from you guys!! I wish you were my local Harley dealer!👍🇺🇸😎

I just bought a used 08, I wish I had the money to do this exact upgrade, I know i wouldn't have to worry about it.

Thanks I appreciate your response and love ya channel!

Great video!!! Can you please make another one with different clutch and comp options out there to compare to when building bigger engines.

Hi Guys . Thanks for this cool video ! Which company made this tensioner and where can be ordered?

Great video. I’m sure I’ll be calling Nick to set something up. I don’t have a big build but that clutch pack sounds like its worth it. Planning on a 128 build soon

Another Awsome product. Sweet. You guys are awsome

I want to build the ultimate aftermarket Harley m8… up everything on it, after market except the decorations…lol

That with your 128 would be a damn dream in my 2020 lowrider S I just bought...wish I lived closer..you guys are the best!

Realise this is an older video BUT would this set up with a Twin Cam Dyna 110 build? Cheers and keep up the great videos. #1 fan 😉

How much is this set up ? ‘14 street glide

Thanks

A little late to the game here I know but has Baker improved their compensator since a few years ago? I had installed one at that time and it only lasted 4000 miles. At the time they had a lot of them failing. Maybe they've made some improvements?

17 Rking m8...Took my original comp off to replace with a low mileage comp assembly. I found a extra flat washer attached on the old comp ramp but the newer one doesn't have this flat washer. I checked parts diagram and manual but it doesn't show extra flat washer on ramp either. What's happening.??? Anyone?

Stock compensator good enough for 120-125HP? Whats Max you recommend before upgrading stock harley compensator?

Another awesome info video!

is the torqu drive and trask basket still good go tos? I am compiling a list and saw the rekluse apex with billet basket but thats over $500 MORE then the torque drive with a trask basket. should i save the money because this is basically a daily driver and LONG ownership bike. I have baker attitude adjuster baker comp evo industries comp ramp rekluse clutch and billet basket on my list.

Love the videos keepem coming

Men of war comp screaming eagle clutch with 1275 springs baker ten recluse sheve 55mm s&s intack ss taps 5.5 fuel injecters stage 2 heades from zippers d&d 2x2xcat headers s&s muffler 128 zippers sleeper kit with 472 red shift cam big sucker air cleaner came in at 133 hp and 158 tq the sleeping beast also added true track Stabilizers now just trying to figure out what want to do next like to have reliable bike but I get used to hp then end up bumping up so I don't get board with it . This is on a 2020 urta limited wife on back 98% of time.

Will this set up work in my 1999 twin cam ? I have put in 97” kit and the Barnett that was available in 1999

I think you meant, you cant use the steel inserts with stock clutch plates. They do work in a stock basket but not with stock plates. Must be Rekluse.

I wanted to ask you guys your opinion on compensators is the dark horse compensator better than the baker compensator? Also that chain tensioner looks exactly like one I purchased from Southern Oregon hot bikes do you have any data on longevity of that chain tensioner? I also use the recluse clutch torque pack. Any info would be greatly appreciate it you guys rock love your videos!!👍🇺🇸

What about removing that plastic tensioner and use gear drives .longer wear ,right.

I have an 04 superglide. I have a 124 build and need an upgrade. I read that this is only good for 2006/07 and newer? What would you guys suggest for older models if thats the case. I need reliability.

Are you able to buy the sleeves of power only?..

What primary chain tensioner do you guys recommend for a M8 124 with 132hp and 145 ftlbs. Running a Baker attitude adjuster with a Man o war motor sprocket and a trask basket with a Sportsman Bandit clutch and a Grudge box. The reason I ask is the primary is really loud going down the road.

The big question is how much will it all cost parts wise !! I’m a diy guy and love working on my Harley but parts are so expensive it often deters me from doing it .

If you are using a billet basket do you need to use the basket sleeves?

What brand is the tensionor? Can i get it through your store?

Man O War Motorsprocket 34 TOOTH MILWAUKEE 8 is it a good one?

Hi How much that setup cost and do you ship europe and great video again 🤘🤘

Can you point me where to get the rekluse clutch basket. Coming up with goose nuts...even their website doesn't have one for a 2105 twin cam....oh and the steel inserts too!

Question! What would you run in your bike as a compensator? Darkhorse, evolution delete or Baker?

Is the rekluse kit called TorqDrive?

What oil do you guys recommend for the drivetrain? In fact, what oil(s) do you recommend for all 3 holes?

Just found Y'all. What are your thoughts on running a BDL to replace stock....

My comp is going out. I have a 124 build dose a comp delete break the bike over time? I don't care much about noise and vibration I just want power and reliability.

Another good video. Would this setup work in the narrow primary of the M8 softails?

how many miles until you typically start to see divits in the basket?

HB125-07 Hydraulic Automatic Primary Chain Tensioner .. Is this the tensioner in the video sold by Southern Oregon Hot Bikes ?

Where can I find your spring tensioner in your website? Will it fit my bike? I have a 2018 Heritage Classic (107 | Stage 1). I am looking into adding a Feuling Racing Series Camchest Kit (Oil Cooled M8) + Endurance Beehive Valve Springs with Ti + Torq Drive Clutch (Rekluse) + Trask Billet Clutch Basket + Compensator Sprocket ("The Baker"). What can I expect from the bike? Is it an overkill? I ride 50% city + 50% highway (day trips + weekend trips). Usually 2 up.

I prefer the dark horse comp over the baker

What about for a nonhydraulic soft tail?

Is your guys spring tensioner with hydraulic lock available for purchase ? 17 M8

Have you guys tested out the man o war motorsprocket? Noise from this?

That Rekluse clutch is getting rave reviews from what I've seen but at what point do you need to upgrade the basket? In one of your previous videos you showed a 135hp build that the guy had absolutely destroyed the stock basket.

How much does that whole kit cost. ... I have a 2021 fxbbs m8.

Is this ideal for doing burnouts?

Put a rekluse in mine last year , and their slave cylinder , so much better I laughed . Why aren’t all Harley Davidson running this package . I run a big cam and two up all the time and that clutch just doesn’t care .

So I don't plan on going more than a Stage 2 with the Zippers 468 cam w/ S&S camplate and pump, lifters etc. This set up looks cool as shit but do you think it would be beneficial in a 19 RGS with just a Stage 2?

Okay... I have an '04,' 88ci Heritage Softail. She is currently, 'completely stock,' and more than likely, it's all the original parts that came on the bike new, in 2004. What's the cost of these parts, to change out the compensator and the clutch, and basket and maybe replace the primary tensioner with one like yours? Do I really need to even have a tensioner? Or can I have a sprocket directly from the engine to the primary chain? Compensators seem to be just a wear and replace pert, but it's a 'stock engine,' not a racing bike.

Can you advise who supplies clutch basket sleeves? Im in Australia if you know of any local suppliers.

is the baker compensator billet clutch basket and your tensioner and the torque recluse clutch kit available for the 2019 softail M8 ?

Finally damn it!

Wow....None of those fit my FXBRS. Rear Tire is too wide they say???

What brand tensioner is that

Is anyone manufacturing an m8 outer primary cover with access for assessing and adjusting a manually adjusted (Baker, etc) primary chain tensioner?

Who was the chain tensioner made by? Thanks.

Looking for more info on YOUR tensioner.

I have 2020 ultra limited running 131 changing out compensator which one should I go with baker or dark horse ?

who makes the primary chain tensioner that y'all used??

Was that a hydraulic clutch on that bike?

Dissipating the load

👍👍

No motor work yet on my 103 2015 ultra glide limited. My bullshit stock Harley clutch is slipping. Would that be a good clutch upgrade?

What brand is heavy duty hydraulic primary chain tensioner?

How do your aftermarket parts not void your powertrain warranty?

Which hydraulic primary tensioner do you guys recommend

Why doesn't Harley Davidson's design "experts" hire the techs at S&S to design their engines? Maybe then folks won't mind paying the high costs for a bike in the first place. Just saying, dropping $20k-35k on a bike only to drop tens of thousands a few years later for all kinds of upgrades (from cam plates, you better oil coolers, better clutch assemblies etc. makes it hard to justify buying a Harley over a foreign bike that will run trouble free over the same period of time. And Harley wonders why their sales are slumping. "Buy USA," used to mean quality. That's before all of the soft ass wall street folks got involved when HD went public in the stock market. Now, some rich @$$ snob demands greater profits and gives no $#!+'$ about quality. Who changed the "pride element" that once came with buying American? Can we punch him in the face? Asking for a friend 😆

200 hp clutch...hmmm

It’s not magic 😢

wow, so many people asking questions and in return they get crickets. So much for customers service. I think I'll pass on any advise you gave, obviously you are just salesmen shiling the product.

Will just keep taking your money...

These guys sound like clowns! Rotating mass of spring pack.... Seriously!?!

Aaron... will be dropping you an email. Want the same on my bikes. Hope you can hook me up Chief. Taimoor

Baker sucks. Bought the comensator and the sprocket chewed up., Junk.

"its alot of $$$" ...video ends....gee
