Upgrading to an Aftermarket Clutch Basket for Milwaukee-8
When increasing the power of your Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-8 engine, upgrading to an aftermarket clutch basket is essential for handling the extra torque and ensuring long-term durability. The stock clutch basket may work for a factory setup, but if you’ve installed a big bore kit, performance camshaft, or other power-enhancing modifications, an upgraded clutch basket can provide stronger engagement, better heat dissipation, and improved overall performance.
In the video below, we discuss aftermarket clutch basket options for Milwaukee-8 engines from leading manufacturers, including Evo Industries, Barnett, Trask, BDL, and Rekluse. Each brand offers unique features designed to improve clutch performance based on your specific riding style and horsepower goals.
Why Upgrade to an Aftermarket Clutch Basket?
