    Same HD clutch springs 1100-1150?

    Not sure why they'd be different, or are they actually the same?
    I bought some HD Vesrah clutch springs for a 1100 for $11, thinking what could be different on a 1150?
    They measure 44.4mm and I think the service limit is 38.5mm.
    They listed as only applicable to 80-81 1100's.
    I bought them anyway.
    Any thoughts or comments?

    Is your engine stock or "built"?

    If it's stock, you wasted your money on HD springs, and your left hand will curse you every time you pull the clutch lever.

      Steve, it's not stock, and I've never found HD springs to be a problem pulling in the clutch.
      I've been using HD springs for over 20 years, don't know what all the fuss is about, pulling in the clutch.
      I don't believe I could get stock springs for less than $11 anyway.
