Centerforce Clutch Kit Centerforce(R) I KCF523516 for Specific Year/Make/Model
$489.95
Free Shipping

If you're in the market for a clutch that won't let you down, the Centerforce(R) I Clutch Series is a solid choice. It features a full facing disc made from premium friction material, which means you're getting a high-quality performance clutch that serves as a great stock replacement. This isn't just any clutch; it’s built for those who might have a stock engine but are thinking about adding a few bolt-on mods for a little extra oomph. The Centerforce centrifugal weights really kick in where needed, making it a perfect fit for those mild power bumps.

What I love about this clutch is that it balances performance and reliability. Whether you're just cruising around town or pushing your ride a bit harder, it’s designed to handle it all. Just a heads up, the pressure plate and disc are sold separately for some applications, so make sure to check that out. And if you’re curious about the numbers, the torque capacity sits at a solid 522, which is impressive for this level of clutch.
