I also bent my lever, made a difference and cost $0.

I installed the Oberon on my 2017 Road King. Had one on my 2015. Makes all of the difference in the world.

I got the Oberon unit ordered. They are on back order but it doesn't look long til they are in.

What does it take to swap out the levers? C-clip and pin?

Also ordered one a couple days ago. Watched a video and the clutch lever is super easy. Just the c-clip and pin. Nothing else has to be taken off

Still waiting for an adjustable lever. When they changed the Master cyl on the 2017 the 2016 and below ones will not fit. Had adjustable levers on the my 2016 and they were outstanding.

How did you get it to fit on a 2017. They don't make an adjustable lever to fit a 2017 . The master cly housing is different.
If you found one I would like the part number .

They now make one for 2017. I was on waiting list for about 2 weeks when they emailed that they had one for me.
