So, I'm guessing the combination of dino primary and cold weather on the tighter than normal adjustment tolerance has something to do with this. Stonei3, what have you got for temps there in CO? Maybe your issue?
I took the Muller out and I'm no longer experiencing drag but I do miss that lighter pull! Thanks all for the suggestions.

Have installed the Muller in my 2017 Low Rider S.
Works beautifully, a bit of mucking around to get it right.
For anyone else who hate's the heavy clutch, I can't understand
that Harley couldn't of made it lighter.
Instead of 1/8 on the adjuster screw, I did around 1/16.
Back it off slightly & hold the thread with two fingers & move
it in & out so you can just see it move a little & you know the plates
are fully engaged. Since the Muller clutch piece has a longer arm, the
cable needs to move around 2mm more than stock. I ground approx 1mm off the
hand lever, so it will move back just enough to give a longer throw. Maybe not good
if you have really short finger though?? Do it a bit at a time, you only need it out just
a little more than stock. I tried an adjustable lever first, which worked well, but was
a lot thicker than the stock & made harder to grab it.
Also have the cable adjuster a bit tighter than standard.
Anyway it's still not perfect compared to other bike brands, but is as easy as all the standard
Harley's now & I'm very happy I've done it.
Hope this helps anyone experiencing the same problems!!

Forgive me for posting on an old thread, but exactly what do you all mean by "dragging". Do you mean the clutch is slipping. I'm getting ready to order this power clutch unit, and want to make sure that it will work for me. I installed the Screaming eagle spring, and the clutch is definitely hard to pull. Although I can handle it, I miss the lighter pull of the original.

a dragging clutch means it is not completely letting go. It fails to completely separate power to the trans.
