Interesting tip. I'll let you know how it works out. Thanks!

Which neutral are we talking about? Between 1st and 2nd is a b!tch, the others are pretty easy.

My four speed ratchet is never a problem,1st to neutral or 2nd to neutral. Almost never look down at light either, I just know when it's there.
A habit I have is put it in before stopped, slow roll. If I'm sitting at a light too long or something I'll let the clutch out a little then pull it in and theeeerrrre she is.... no throttle blips....

I have never been able to get more than .065" clutch release which does make for difficult neutral location. You will need to measure the amount of throw at the clutch pushrod adjustment screw. Technically you should have .080" for proper clutch disengagement. Anything less than .070" will make it hard to find neutral at a stop. I've tried everything even a new 21* ramp at the trap door and I still get .065". Anyone know of any clutch lever manufacturers that will give more throw than an oem clutch lever?

Wifey's '96 Ultra has always been a bear to get into neutral (when stopped). Since I switched to H-D synthetic in the primary it's been a bit better.
