Default RSD Adjustable Levers

Does anyone have experience with the Roland Sands Regulator adjustable levers on a Dyna? I am thinking about installing a pair of adjustable levers and was curious about the fit and quality of the RSD pair. I have read a few reviews of other options and the results are hit and miss. Was looking for any feedback and experiences with this particular set.

No experience with the RSD levers, but I did consider them in the past... I ended up going with adjustable levers from Oberon, and two years later I'm still super happy with them! I liked the look better than the RSDs, and the quality is very high. There are also a lot of color options available. Several US suppliers carry them, but I found it cheaper to order directly from the UK: http://www.oberon-performance.co.uk/...-Davidson.html

I run them on my road glide. Love the smooth rounded feel of the controls especially with the clutch Lever. Levers like Oberon which I also ran are more squared off in the lever and is transferred to your hand and people with hand problems like me don’t enjoy it after a long day of riding. People that had issues with rsd levers forgot to reuse the shim from there original levers when installing which causes excessive up and down play (wobbly) in the levers.

Thanks for the reply. Does your Road Glide have a hydraulic clutch? I ask because it would be great if I can install the same setup on my Dyna and my Road King. I noticed that the RSD website offers the levers for hydraulic clutches, but can't seem to find them anywhere else. Plus, it looks like they are at a discount.

yes it is! I bought them because on my 15 the clutch release was at the far end of the lever travel and the levers travel so far out for my smaller hands to constantly be using them and on hydraulics you can’t adjust where the clutch engages like a cable. The adjustment of the levers helped bring it in to where I have no issue anymore

i got lucky on my set. Picked em up on eBay for 90 shipped open box! Only one lever was pulled from the packaging then they realized it was the wrong fitment for their bike

I put RSD adjustables on my GF's Dyna FXDL. (She has small hands.) The levers work very well, and perform as advertised. For her, this was a motorcycle "fitment" issue. Back in 2015, there was nobody else (we found) that had adjustable levers for the FXDL. (There may be more now.)

I put a PSR Journey brake lever on mine and kept the stock clutch lever. I have a lot of arthritis in my right hand. It let me move the lever in just enough to ease the pain, and is a good match with the one on the other side.
