clutch slipping

    I have got my bike back on the road with a new second hand motor. Now the clutch slips, it is running a clutch with 5 studs and has 5 springs. Do I need to run with 10 springs which it looks like they would fit or put a new after market clutch on . Also the primary is leaking and I spent a bit of time cleaning up the surfaces and sealing it all together so is it worth trying to get a belt drive at the same time.This might not be straight forward because of the bike having a evo motor and a shovel box and all the adds I see say so and so year to what ever and I dont wont to buy something that doesnt fit either the motor or gearbox.

    I have a softail with an evo and a 4 speed the clutch has ten springs.As for the primary it's the same as a shovelhead on mine. They can be a bit of a pain with leaks the studs that come through the primary can leak as well it's a goood idea to put some sealant on them if you remove it.
