Top kekykm Clutch Plate Kits for Harley Models
Our kekykm lineup features three specialized kits, each optimized for specific Harley engines. Compare them to find the perfect match for your ride.
M8 Friction Steel Plate Clutch Kit
This kit is built for Harley Touring and Softail models with Milwaukee-Eight engines. It includes 10 friction plates, 9 steel plates, and 3 heavy-duty springs, delivering superior grip under high loads. Ideal for performance-tuned bikes where stock clutches falter, it provides crisp shifts and handles increased horsepower seamlessly.
Twin Cam Extra Plate Friction Steel Clutch Kit
Compatible with Softail, Touring, Dyna, Trike, and Evolution 1340 models from 1998-2017 (replaces P/N 37980-10 and 307-30-10013), this extra-plate design adds capacity for modified engines. It boosts torque handling without sacrificing smoothness, making it a favorite for custom builds in the Engine parts category.
Extra Plate Sportster Friction Steel Clutch Disc Kit
A 17-piece set for Sportster 1991-2017, Big Twin Touring/Dyna/Softail 1990-1997, and Buell models 1991-2002. This kit emphasizes durability for high-revving applications, with extra plates to prevent glazing and fade during aggressive riding.
When choosing between these, consider your engine type: M8 for newer tours, Twin Cam for mid-era big twins, and Sportster for lighter models. All kekykm kits outperform many competitors like Barnett Clutch Plates in heat dissipation, thanks to their premium friction compounds.
Key Features to Consider When Shopping
Selecting the right clutch plates involves evaluating compatibility, material quality, and plate count. Look for:
- Friction Material: kekykm uses graphite-infused composites for low drag and high friction coefficient.
- Steel Plates: Hardened for flatness, preventing warping under stress.
- Springs: Progressive rate options in kits for tunable pressure.
- Fitment: Direct OEM replacements minimize downtime.
Common use cases include clutch rebuilds after high-mileage wear, upgrades for big-bore kits, or fixes for slipping in wet conditions. For alternatives, explore EBC Clutch Plates or BIGLKNM Clutch Plates, but kekykm excels in Harley-specific engineering.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
Installing kekykm kits requires basic tools and torque specs from your service manual. Always soak friction plates in oil overnight for optimal bedding-in. Regular inspections every 5,000 miles catch early wear. Pair with fresh transmission fluid from our Parts section for peak performance.
