Aftermarket clutch...?

[Elvis]

So I have had my 08 pitbull for about a year now. I have put roughly 2500 miles on it and have had to take it back to have the clutch looked over. I have been reading on the forums and have seen a trend that the baker is a POS. Before they switch out the clutch for a new one (under warranty), do you think it would be worth the dollars to invest in a karata clutch or something similar...?

Bandit Clutch makes a direct replacement set-up for your Big Dog that you might want to check out before you make your decision. I'm not sure of the web addy but you can google it, if my memory serves me right they are located in PA.....
Good Luck

Thanks Wood.I am pleased to see that you have had no problems... Just joking. I have just heard that the baker is a hit or miss and i'm looking for outside input if its worth the shop time to ride it out or purchase a clutch that is worth a lick...
