So what was so bad about the old standard clutch that we needed this new hydraulic clutch. I'm on bike number 8 and I never had a problem with a one . Did HD do this for the ladies and weaklings out there ?

 

Believe it had something to do with the new inner fairing and electronics, rather than pull force issues.

 

....Hydraulic line, or cable....one takes up as much room as the other. But then I don't know how they have that line routed.

 

1 - Hydraulic lines never ask for adjustment, cables do.
2 - Hydraulic vs cable: Hydraulic is smoother & more progressive to use.

 

Hydro + 1

 

Cables never leak. Well, maybe trans fluid past the O ring
