Default Best clutch for a S&S 124

Buddy has a custom bike with a 124" and is looking for an easier pull clutch with good traffic manners. Currently he has Rivera Primo. Should he try a Baker King Kong? Hydraulic? Other options? Opinions? Thanks.

Not his problem, but funny. So nothing with a lighter pull than a Primo for this application?

I have no idea. My 88 is enough for me. I'm sure somebody will chime in with a serious answer.

My only useful suggestion would be to email/contact the various clutch vendors (or even S&S) and inquire about it. I can't see anybody having more applicable info than the guys that test and build them.

Yeah, he's been riding it for years with no issues, but bought an '09 RG recently and liked how the clutch felt. Pretty sure it's the 96" vs 124" but thought I'd get some user reviews from our brain trust. I'm sure he'll check with vendors too. I'm still partial to the 80" myself but people like to play.

Burly brand easyboy lite clutch. Reduces clutch pull 40%. They're $31.49 with free shipping from jpcycles.
Put 1 ona Softie for a rider, back in the 90's. Made a huge difference for her.

Barnett Scorpion - it'll handle the HP.., and has good manners

Comes w/ 3 sets of springs - so the pull can be customized

Bandit Sportsman. The best made part I have bought for my bike. It can handle the 124" easily, and the pull is about as easy as can be because of the increased friction area.
