2009 Harley Davidson Sportster clutch basket

2009 Harley-Davidson Sportster Clutch Basket – OEM Replacement, V-Twin Engine Compatible

Upgrade or replace the clutch basket on your 2009 Harley-Davidson Sportster with this high-quality OEM clutch basket, designed to meet or exceed factory specifications. This component is an essential part of the primary drive system, responsible for transmitting engine power to the transmission through the clutch assembly. Whether you’re restoring your Sportster to peak performance or replacing a worn-out or damaged unit, this clutch basket ensures smooth, reliable operation and long-term durability.

Fitment:

This clutch basket is specifically designed for 2009 Harley-Davidson Sportster models, including the XL883, XL1200, Iron 883, Nightster, and other variations in the Sportster line. It fits seamlessly into the stock primary assembly without modification.

Construction & Materials:

Crafted from precision-machined, hardened steel or aluminum alloy (depending on OEM spec), this basket is engineered to resist warping, notching, and excessive wear—common issues in high-mileage or aggressively ridden bikes. The reinforced gear teeth and riveted construction ensure maximum torque transfer and vibration resistance.

Performance:

The clutch basket houses the clutch plates and interacts directly with the primary chain drive, so maintaining its structural integrity is vital. A worn or damaged basket can cause slippage, chatter, or difficulty shifting. Replacing it with this OEM-compatible unit restores smooth clutch engagement, consistent power delivery, and overall ride quality.

Installation Notes:

Professional installation is recommended, especially for riders unfamiliar with Harley-Davidson primary drive components. Proper torque specifications and clutch pack alignment are crucial. In some cases, a clutch hub puller or special tools may be required. Always refer to your factory service manual.

Condition (for used parts):

This item has been inspected for cracks, grooves, and abnormal wear. All gear teeth are intact, and rivets are secure. Basket notches (if any) are minimal and do not affect performance. Ready for immediate installation.
