Default Easy Pull Clutch

I have a 99 Sportster and the clutch is so stiff. I am thinking about purchasing an easy pull clutch but wanted some opinions on this first. I am hoping that someone out there has had some experience with these and how well they work, or know of any other ones that would work with my year. The only one I could find that would fit my year was on ebay and also a description of it at easypullclutch.net

Thank you in advance!!

Wondered about these myself. I've got some early stages of carpal tunnel in my left arm from years of guitar playing.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Just want to make sure if I do this I get the best one available so I don't have to do it again at a later time.

If the kit on ebay looks like this:



They seem to work OK on a stock clutch in my experience.
I have not been able to make the same kit work however, with the SE clutch pack which doesn't have the Spring Plate. I could never eliminate clutch drag with it installed.

my bike is 2002 883r sportster, I bought the ebay kit at first, I read a lot of people had great experience with it but not me, when I installed it in my bike, it was grinding the bottom of the primary and couldn't move at all, so I decided to buy the muller easy clutch, and I had no problem installing it and it works great, and I use barnett clutch cable by the way, i hope it helps

When I bought my '95 sporty it took two hands to pull the clutch (it was a used bike at the dealer). They didn't make the ez-pull for my year, they may not for yours. So the parts people knew of a kit, made in Germany I believe. I don't know who they ordered it from, maybe Drag Specialties - but now I only need two fingers to pull it - it did an amazing job. Someone at the parts desk should know - there are other options than ez-pull.
