I would like to install a Harley brand part # 36808-05 reduced effort clutch on my 1999 Ultra Classic 88 twin cam. At least I thought I would. I plan to do it myself. But I have read some posts on here that think it makes your clutch slip. I don't want that to happen. You wouldn't think that would be the case since they are using them on the newer models. One guy didn't even think it helped much. I have small hands and could sure use the reduce effort. I'm not a hard rider. But do like to get on the bike a little. Let me hear what you guys experience has been and any tips you can give me. Do you have to remove the left side exhaust to remove the outer primary cover. Thanks

I have one and love it. Does not slip, but I ride a Softail, not on an Ultra.

I installed one on my broinlaws '05 Road King.I had to remoove the exhaust from the right side to get to the tranny cover and had to remove the the primary cover to get the spring in.
The clutch did not slip.Most people say the clucth could slip if the engine is not stock.

I installed one on my 2004 Superglide 2 weeks ago, which is not exactly stock. The 88" has been hopped up 95" and even wound out, nothing has slipped. The reduction in pull effort is notceable and worth the effort to put it in. Aside from having to remove the primary and transmission side cover,which can be messy, the actual install is straight forward, a 1-2 hour job tops.
I say go for it.
