Default Clutch Question
Just aquired a (new/old) 1980 FXB and the clutch lever is extremely heavy. Won't have time to tear into it until the weekend, but hoping for something to look for up front. Bike has been kept up but not ridden for several years. It will roll in gear with clutch disengaged, but not nearly as easily as it does in neutral. Any an all info will be appreciated.

I recently bought an '04 model and the clutch pull was very hard. My hand would wear out after not to long of a ride. Had the dealer service the bike and while they were doing that they lubed the cable. It is nice and easy (relatively) now.

I know about the EZ - Clutch & Lite-Clutch for Evos, haven't seen one for a 4Speed-Shovel- with dry clutch. If you have that link that would be cool. Thanks
