Pressure Plates

Harley-Davidson clutch pressure plates are part of the clutch assembly that applies pressure across the clutch pack during power transfer. Harley-Davidson service documentation identifies the pressure plate alongside the clutch hub, clutch shell, diaphragm spring, clutch plates, friction plates and release components. This category includes Harley-Davidson pressure plates, OE-style replacement plates, complete pressure plate assemblies and replacement components for a range of Harley-Davidson clutch systems.

The product selection includes Harley-Davidson clutch pressure plate replacements from V-Twin and Eastern Motorcycle Parts, along with performance-oriented pressure plates from Barnett and Belt Drives Ltd. Options include standard pressure plates, OE replacement designs and lock-up pressure plates for mechanical and hydraulic clutch applications. Barnett's Touring options provide separate mechanical and hydraulic lock-up configurations, while Belt Drives Ltd. offers pressure plates for its belt-drive clutch systems. These different designs accommodate variations in clutch construction and operating systems.

Applications span older Big Twin motorcycles, Twin Cam models, Touring motorcycles and other Harley-Davidson clutch configurations represented by the available products. The correct Harley-Davidson clutch pressure plate depends on the clutch assembly, model application, operating system and corresponding clutch components such as the diaphragm spring, clutch plates, hub and release mechanism. Harley-Davidson documentation shows that pressure plates can also be supplied as part of a pressure plate kit with the clutch spring and seat, making component compatibility important when replacing individual clutch parts.
