Clutch Specs...?

I'm finally getting back to my clutch issues and need to know the friction plate thickness for the '79 Sporty. My manual is only giving me '84 to '90 (0.150" new) specs. Mine measure only .102". Steel plates are around 0.045". Also doesn't list clutch spring free length for the two springs. ??? Haynes manual,...no wonder.
I had the slipping clutch prob., with the popping out of first. I was actually adjusting clutch correctly before, so i took it apart to check clutch. Found main clutch nut hand tight, so hopefully that wound also attribute to the gear prob.
Now that I'm in there, I want to replace clutch as it seems (fr plates) thin.
My local dealer is out of stock, so any suggestions on a good aftermarket (Barnett?) clutch would be great.(if i need one). Mine is a 1200 now.
So,..Fr. plate thickness, two clutch spring free heights and a clutch supplier...
Thanks everybody.. and esp.Glider!

Re: Clutch Specs...?

Ok Thanks Glider. How about a good supplier for Harley bits.? Can you recommend a good clutch for a good price? I don't know the good Harley sources.
Thanks

Re: Clutch Specs...?

Zanotti's is about the best. Barnett makes a good clutch setup.

Here's some others too...
