The Recluse Auto Clutch is king in the off road world. Hills and rough nasty stuff on a dirt bike are tackled with ease if you can stay on the pegs.

I've been riding dirt bikes since I was six and street bikes ten years after that. Never had an issue using a clutch and feathering the power with a clutch in the dirt but the Recluse clutch makes me faster and smoother in the dirt.

They are bringing out a Harley unit in the next month or so. The rumor is they will make a clutch that has 30% easer lever pull as well.
Does an auto clutch on a Harley have any use or need? I have never stalled my Harley because the V-Twin has enough bottom end I would have to be in third taking off to stall it I think.

I do see a lot of guys stall theirs at lights and stop and go traffic and Recluse will eliminate this issue. My girl's Sportster may get one because she does stall it once in a while and that causes her to panic a bit holding up traffic behind her.

Is this something you would buy? Is there a benefit for the average Harley guy other than a lighter clutch lever pull?

Just a note: I don't sell the clutch or have anything to do with them other than I have one on my dirt bike. Just wondered if this will be a popular item for the Harley market.

 

Suburban Harley used to carry them as of last summer but don't know any thing else about them......I run a Bandit in my High PERF Buggy and SE in my other bikes...

 

I ran one in conjunction with the LHRB on my KTM and it was useful for sharp down hill switchbacks. I really can not see a use for one on a street bike. If you can not use the clutch correctly on the street you probably should not be on the street.

 

Auto-clutches might be useful to someone has a disability and would allow them to keep riding.

 

In what manner? If you do not have full control of your hands how can you ride?

 

There are many examples of one arm riders as well as riders with limited movement in extremities. I think there was a recent thread about such a rider. Like this one

Most around here know I lost my left arm in a wreck. I run an EFM Autoclutch. Still shift the same, just don't have a clutch lever.

 

If Gypsylady can do it without a left arm..........

Well, thank you cHarley. That's the first time I've been used as a GOOD example! It WAS a good ride today!

 

Ignorance can be so disappointing, can't it?
