Default Automatic clutches

I got some time to go riding Friday afternoon. After about 100 miles I pulled into a mobile truck stop to top off the tank and bottle of water. There was two hertiges also getting gas. So I struck up a conversation there a husband and wife from Arkansas on their way to the lake of the ozarks for a few days. I happened to notice Mike that s the husband he was missing his last 3 fingers on his left hand he saw me looking and said he lost them in a accident in 2019 he told me after he got better he wasn’t going to give up riding so he had a automatic clutch installed on his bike then had one put on his wife’s also so he could ride.I did not know Harley had automatic clutch’s I new Honda did learn something new every day

Harley doesn't make auto clutches, but Rekluse makes auto clutches https://rekluse.com/products/v-twin/

Canadian Rocky put an automatic clutch in his bike. I believe it is a Rekluse Clutch brand.

All I know is Mike told me he had a auto clutch installed so now I know it’s an aftermarket thanks

If you need one it's worth every penny IMO.

The Rekluse Clutches are very common on Dirt Bikes especially ones used for tight trail riding. I have yet to try one, but the concept has me intrigued for a street bike.
Damn I may look into one of these!
