Performance machine hydraulic clutch
I really need some pics of pm hydraulic clutch set up installed. Need pics from top down and from risers towards clutch. Trying to determin if they will fit on fat bob drag bars. My harley setup does not fit. From the stock photos looks like the pm are set up better for the thicker bar but would like to see. Ive looked all over the internet and no luck.

Considering the cost of the hydro conversion, why not get some bars that work?
That said, I'm planning a hydro clutch conversion this winter (hopefully) and had intended to use Brembo controls. But we'll see. I haven't positively settled on anything yet.

Thanks CG. Ill look into those as well. Gotta figure something to clear the fat bars. Those rsd hydros work with stock controls which would be nice. I will let everyone know what direction i go. Gotta sell some parts so i can buy the new setup.
CG how you healin up brother.

The Brembos can be had with remote resevoir, but I suspect the appearance wouldn't suit most Harley guys. I'll be interested in hearing your story as you progress. I still have a cable clutch and I'm doing a complete front end swap so I've got lots of decisions to make yet.
I'm pluggin' along. Two steps forward, one step back. Sitting in a hospital IV infusion chair right now. Checking tolerance of a new antibiotic. Thanks.

Back to the topic at hand, I don't have a lot to add. The last time I used PM hand controls on a bike was in 1987, and they did look good with the PM Chicane wheels that I was running... But I have to say I like the mechanical feel of a clutch cable. The bite point is so clear and provides tactile feedback through the lever, which I really like. Is the swap for aesthetic reasons? Or reduced lever resistance? Or just to eliminate the cable and it's routing?
Just curious...
