Default Reduced Effort Clutch Kit

Part # 36808-05

Anybody ever installed one?

I am interested in installing on my wife's 05 Springer.

Says kit includes new clutch spring and inner/outer ramps. apparently this is standard on 06 and later twin cams.

What am i getting into here?

They work. I put one in my 04 that I used to have. Nice improvement, but if your motor has been built, the spring will be too soft. The ramps still help if you have to use a stiffer spring. Stock motor will be fine with the 06 spring.

Yeah, but you might find it a pain to get the spring thru the hole. After changing one thru the hole, I opted to pull the Primary cover the second time. Not that difficult to do.

Make sure you have a decent pair of snap ring pliers for the work in the ramp and ***** area.
