I have over 18000 miles on the bike and after all the mods my clutch is giving up on me.
I have the touring cams, reflashed ecm, top filter and performance front filter, adjustable timing gear, pcV and auto tune, ness big honkers.
Grabbing a handful of throttle gets the clutch squealing in most gears, If I shift in the upper rpms it can be easily felt as it slips awhile before slowly grabbing.
I'm changing over to barnett fibers and steels and the variable pressure plate . Hopefully the clutch will hold up without much change in feel. I called barnett and they were recommending the scorpion clutch but I have heard bad things from a few people so I'm not going that route.
I'll let you guys know how it works out after the switch.

im not shocked the clutch gave out so soon.. even with your mods... if your ever bored , do a parts Victory parts search and look at who all shares that clutch... that same clutch was used BEFORE the vision even came out... and used on Victory's that way a lot less.. so put the same clutch in a much heavier bike, then if you ride 2 up a lot, or tow a trailer etc etc.... hey, let me take the clutch from a ford focus and out it in the F150.. oh and btw im going to haul some horses as well.... lol
