26K and still on the stock clutch *knocks on wood* I don't launch the car and mostly use it on the highway, hopefully I won't have to replace it anytime soon. My brothers stock clutch lasted until 35K.

When I bought my 2005 VIII, some guy was bringing his nearly-new 8 in for a new clutch - he had just over 800 miles. I don't know what scared me more - the fact he only had 800 miles, or that he was paying the dealer $1500 to install a new stock clutch...
BTW, have 36k myself, lots of launches. Engage pointed has shifted, but still holds strong.
