Taken from HD TECH forum......”No, the hydraulic clutch is "self adjusting" the piston in the slave cylinder retracts from pressure from the clutch. A shorter rod and the slave cylinder will move only as far as the clutch pushed it to, or pretty much zero clearance.
There is no way to adjust the lever release point. There is a company that manufactures a replacement slave cylinder with a larger diameter to make the clutch pull less and from what I hear the release point is closer to the grip, but it dos not fit all models and it costs a bit of coin.”

What the shorter rod did do to six’s ride was make an ungodly squeaking noise!

My bike is a 17 model. I changed the damper seat to the one that is installed in the 19 models. My engagement is now midways. The 19 is a couple thousands thicker.

Thing is the rod Rodder received isn’t as designed......it’s not been finished properly. If I was buying one to keep for later, I’d want a perfect one.
I’m letting him know he has a dud like six received........
If you can change your clutch engagement by changing pushrods, that’s great. Mine works identically with the fat rod.....yeah, it’s the same length, but my understanding is the slave takes up the slack as the tech post suggests.

I questioned the finish of the ends in one of my posts early on, although the length was what I got hung up on. The noises in the actuator were either from the piston in the bore or the rod end in the piston cup. The replacement rod I was sent addressed both concerns, being the length and the finished ends that resulted in smooth quiet operation as stock but without the FN TRANSFER. Good Times!
