Not sure what you mean by actuator. If it's the clutch slave, then yes it lowers clutch lift. You still have full lever travel and the pull is lighter. Reduced reach lever does not lessen the pull. Friction zone probably moves in a little..
Actuator is how Harley refers to the slave cylinder. I think you are correct on all points.

Let us know how the Mueller slave cylinder works out. So far, the few who have installed their unit seem to love it. But I don't think anyone has many miles (over 5K) on it yet.

I've gone through 3 of the AIM units and have given up on their slave cylinder working like they advertise. Waste of $250.00.

Well if you think that is bad, I guess it really sucks that the unit on the other end is commonly referred to as the Master cylinder!

The reduced reach lever simply moves the lever closer to the handlebar so that it's easier to get more hand on it. It does nothing as far as reducing lever pull but simply allows for better grip. Side effect is that the pressure plate moves less since the lever has less travel.
