I installed one on my ‘19 CVO Limited and it worked perfectly as advertised. I didn’t have any problems with the pressure, but wanted to move the friction zone.
It's a cable system in the Softails. I put a Muller slave in my 19 Street Glide and love it.

In my experience with Rick's and Oberon adjustable levers, the clutch pull is easier, they seem to change the leverage. My stock clutch with one of these levers I can pull it with one finger. I also changed to a Rekluse clutch pack but that was to handle more torque on my bike.

As an FYI - Oberon doesn't have one for the '21 bikes yet. Glad I called them.

Yes, however, you need to get the lighter springs. Probably need to order from Rekluse directly or you will need to buy the extra light springs separately.

My kit, RMS-285 came with three sets of springs. Standard, Light and Extra Light. I'm running the LIGHT springs, rated for 175 ft-lb torque with -10% change in lever pull, the EXTRA LIGHT springs are rated for 135 ft-lb and have -30% change in lever pull.

The 1FNGR is a lever AND a new perch with rolling element bearings instead of plain bushings like stock. This will reduce friction in the system and make the clutch pull easier.

Would you happen to know the spring rating on the stock clutch? I plan on leaving this 114 stock.

I found the answer in the Rekluse instruction guide - approx 135 ft lbs is the answer, which is right at their extra light spring rate.

This might be the ideal setup for my wife.

Hulkss,
Did you or anyone else who installed the 1FNGR keep your factory clutch perch?
I need one for my 2020 FLHCS.
Thanks.
