Default Reduced Effort Clutch

Is there a reduced effort clutch kit for a 2014 HD FXDF (Fat Bob)?

Probably a lite clutch that mounts in the clutch housing..I have one on my 2012...although the clutch’s are pretty light with the newer clutch plates

Here's one that a bunch of people use. No personal experience, but according to Burly it fits your bike: https://www.burlybrand.com/product/2...lutch-kit/1077

There are several clutch springs available. The spring for the stock 96 inch engine is pretty light to pull. The problem is that a light-pull spring often will not hold the clutch plates tight enough together to avoid slipping with hopped-up motors.

I upgraded my 96 inch to 103 and made several other enhancements. The result was that my stock clutch slipped under the more robust power. Problem solved. I ordered and installed an Alto Carbonite Clutch that includes an extra plate. I kept my stock light spring. The extra plate clutch stopped my clutch slippage and allowed me to keep my light-pull stock clutch spring.

A significant extra benefit is that the take-up action of the Carbonite clutch is fantastic. It's smooth and predictable.

Anyone know if the 2014 FXDF came with a reduced effort clutch?

I've had mine since I bought the bike new, back in 2016. Best $25 I ever spent (on a bike.)
Best thing is, the clutch still locks up as hard as the stock clutch does.

You could get one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Easy-Pull-L...item3d852b76fc
I got one, but have been waiting to drain/change the oil to install it, though I hopefully will get it done this weekend, when I have to change out the rear drive belt, which requires pulling the primary off (which seemed a ridiculous design flaw to me).

Other than the Burly kit (I use) there are also easy pull levers. Bummer is they cost more and you get locked in to the look for both levers.
