My '08 Wide Glide has 133K miles on her with the original clutch, yours shouldn't be a problem. The spring worked out great for me.

However, it is so hard to pull the clutch, spent another $30 for a Burly easy-boy, difference is night and day.

Which bike & model? I have 2013 Street Bob and am facing the problem of a very hard pull after putting the SE Spring. So much so, that after a day long ride, my hand could be in pain for another 2-3 days. Do you think this Burly thing will work on my bike model?

I would call Burly directly but I would be willing to bet it would work.

Did a search B17-117 is the Burly part number, same as my 07 SB. Installation is a piece of cake.

Cheaper than the route I'm going, I have the arthritis in my hands too and went with the stock spring and the variable clutch, hoping for some time this weekend to install it.

I installed the SE spring about 2 months ago. It ws a little harder to pull but after a day of riding I got used to it. Don't know for sure if it was slipping before but it sure feels tighter now. Glad I did it. Like many things Harley - probably should have been done at the factory. Just sayin.

+1 Completely agree! The difference on my 2010 Heritage was minor in my opinion. I did it after I did the build outlined in my sig.

Yup, it works, put one in a 08 Wide Glide but the owner had hands like a Gorilla so the extra pull wasn't an issue.

A little extra forearm workout will not hurt
