First off I'm no clutch guru. Get all my info here on TY as a lurker. I put 608 miles on my bone stock sled in Maine two weeks ago. After I went over the sled once home, discovered I had one flat spotted secondary roller. So rather then replace the so called updated secondary rollers. I placed an order to Thunder Products. I installed the the two lubricated glide washers in the primary with the stock factory spring. In the secondary I installed TP's 33/35 billet helix with there Orange spring set at 3/3, TP's secondary rollers and the factory 8jp belt. I weigh 260 lbs. suited up and strictly big mile trail ride with the occasional full wack of the flipper on a rail bed or long straight stretch. No racing or aggressive corner to corner riding. With the belt and heat issues some are having. Will this setup be good for my style of riding?

I would think it should be good. I have the same secondary set up along with the primary big venom kit and so far it's great. We ride about the same also.

You will be fine but I would have replaced that crappy stock primary spring also. I would go to a dalton bronze or TP orange for a stock like engagement. The stock spring has been known to break and bind. I have all the same as you except the orange TPI primary spring and the stock 35 helix and am really impressed with the response and lack of belt dust from my clutches.

Are you still running the 8JP belt?

Yes still the stock belt @ over 450 miles. Lots of lake blasts on the belt with trail riding in between. Looks great. I broke the belt in easy and only pound on it after it is warmed up in the morning.
