reduced effort clutch
Does Harley make a reduced effort clutch kit for my 98 FLHR? I've got a hand injury that makes working the stock clutch painful. The clutch on my 08 FXD is so much easier.
Thanks,
Richard

If you do the light pressure plate(spring plate) youcould power thrue the clutch . Now there are several light pull arms and a light pull cable that does work and a addon for the lever that all light'n pull . have done the arm and cable on my last bike with a heavy plate for the motor and ended with a lighter pull so they do work with out the hd brand crap.

thats what i bought, the easy clutch ball and ramp kit from harley, not to bad to install it. i think it was about $120.00. they say say it reduces the effort by 40% and it does. i looked at the cheap kits but heard that you could have some problems with them, they put a different angle on the exit of the cable in the tranny cover and can wear the cable out faster and sometimes not disengage the clutch completely. i believe the one i bought is by MRC, thats new ramps and bigger ***** and you know we can all benefit from bigger ***** on our bikes. but yeah it really does the job. i also have some problems with my left hand. theres also clutchlite but thats only the inner ramp, it works with the original outer ramp, dont know how good it works but its about half the price.

Buy an EZ clutch from J & P or Jireh for $20. Have one in mine and have installed several for others.. I can pull the clutch on My Sloptail, even with the long cable due to the apes with one finger.. 20 minutes to an hour ta install depending if you have to drop a pipe to get your Tranny cover off..
