BAIONE Clutch Spring Compressor for Harley Sportster & Buell — Replaces OEM HD-38515A, Heavy-Duty Coated Steel

BAIONE Clutch Spring Compressor is a heavy-duty, easy-to-use tool designed to compress and release motorcycle clutch springs for Harley models, replacing OEM HD-38515A.

Work on a Harley clutch with less struggle and greater safety: this compressor lets you hold clutch pressure while removing or installing retaining rings, speeding up service tasks and reducing risk of dropped components. Constructed from coated steel for corrosion resistance and intended to match original OEM fitment, it supports a range of Sportster, Buell and select Harley engines so you can complete clutch jobs at home or in the shop.

Which Harley models does this compressor fit?

The BAIONE unit is engineered to match common stock clutch assemblies used on many Sportster and Buell machines and several Harley 1200/1340 variants. Compatibility covers specific year ranges and engine families to ensure the tool engages the spring retainer correctly.

• Sportster 1340cc models from 1990–2007
• All XLH 883 and XL1200 Sportster variations
• 1200cc Harley models from 1991–2001

How does this tool improve clutch service safety and speed?

By compressing the clutch spring consistently, the BAIONE compressor frees both hands to remove retaining rings and clutch plates without improvising with screwdrivers or pliers. That stability reduces slippage and dropped parts, lowering damage risk and shortening repair time.

• Holds spring tension steadily during ring removal
• Eliminates makeshift compression methods that can slip
• Saves time when disassembling or reassembling clutch packs
• Minimizes the chance of scratches or gouges to hub surfaces

What is the construction and maintenance of the tool?

BAIONE improved the original design with thicker steel and a protective coating to resist rust and simplify cleaning after use. Routine upkeep is straightforward: wipe off grease and debris, check fasteners, and store in a dry place to keep threads and moving parts reliable.

• Made from heavy-duty steel with anti-corrosion coating
• Durable under repeated compression cycles
• Easy to clean — simply remove grime and re-lubricate threads
• Compact shape for bench or toolbox storage
