RE: Street Bob

Clutch is standard - but it feels hydraulic. In fact, it feels even lighter and smoother than the hydraulic on my VTX1800. And the transmission shifts like butta!

RE: Street Bob

You will be blown away with how smooth the transmission is - especially compared to the VTX. There is no loud 1st-to-2nd "clunk" and all it takes to shift is just a very slight pressure upward/downward on the shifter. Only time will tell how well it holds up - which is why (I'm assuming) that HD wants to inspect/replace the primary bearing every 15k.

I rode in to work this morning and did a quick unscientific tests with the clutch lever - comparing the Dyna with a friend's CBR600RR (non-hydraulic). Believe it or not, the Dyna's clutch pull felt smoother and may even a little lighter! This will be a real gawd-send to those of us who spend a lot of time in stop/go traffic.

Wow, that smooth, you got me all stoked. My Drifter was pretty hard & would cramp the hands after awhile. Thanx Tow, much appreciated.

Later,
