I changed the damper spring and it did move everything closer to the grip just slightly, but I still would like the have the AIM for the widened friction zone alone. At $280 it won't be anytime soon.

I just put my AIM light force in my Triglide today and the difference is unbelievable. It does feel more like a 60% decrease in pressure needed to disengage the clutch now and the friction zone is just off the bar. It’s way better than my twin cam cable clutches.

The install was pretty straight forward. I did have to bleed it a few times to get all of the air out. Getting the side cover off with the pipes loose was a tight fit.

Yes it is expensive but to me it’s worth every penny. A stroke 14 years ago left my left side very weak. This makes clutching in traffic and on the hard left turns more manageable.

Has anyone had any luck with getting a dealer to clear the recall by showing them the old slave cylinder?

i think you have to use the ebay app for the coupon to work.

That's nice find, thanks!

Still have not decided if I want to do this now or wait until my warranty runs out.

Ordered thanks for the heads up! I know this is an M8 thread but I'll be installing on my 2017 Slim S. AIM says it should be 100% compatible. We'll see!
