We start with using the Dodson Motorsport Promax Clutch. This unit is complete with billet baskets, outer cage, and cover drive unit which are all prone to failure even at moderate increases in power. This comprehensive design steps things up from a standard street solution and is the only clutch we recommend for the DL800. The Promax allows for several configurations of the clutch pack itself providing the highest level of engine torque holding capability for the DL800 while still providing the ability to be mild-mannered and streetable.
