Sportster Transmission / Clutch

What Is In This Collection

Transmission and clutch parts for the air-cooled Sportster - clutch kits, plates, springs and baskets, easy-pull kits and clutch cables, primary and drive components, transmission bearings, seals and gaskets, and the hardware that goes with them.

Sportster Fitment

Sportster covers '57-'22 - XL883, XL1200, Iron, Forty-Eight, Roadster and Nightster. The air-cooled XL is cable throttle. The liquid-cooled RH Sportster is a different motorcycle and does not share these parts - see RH Sportster.

Years that change what fits:

• 2004 - the Sportster moved to a rubber-mounted frame, which changes a great deal of chassis hardware.
• 2007 - fuel injection replaced the carburetor across the range.

Know Your Gearbox

Harley Big Twins ran a five-speed through 2006 and moved to the six-speed Cruise Drive for 2007 on Touring and Dyna; those two gearboxes share very little. The Sportster runs its own unit-construction transmission entirely. Clutch work has its own trap: a clutch that grips harder often needs stiffer springs, and stiffer springs mean a heavier lever pull unless the kit is designed around it.
