The AIM was really the only slave that had issues (V1 and 2), the other 2 brands were successful. Not a slight on AIM, they too make a good product. Not sure what the hell happened.

My Muller IS A FIX, no quotes needed, and I did genuinely have a problem with mine. I did attempt to have HD address it, to no avail. My time is worth a lot more to me than to hassle with inept service advisors, and have to bother my wife or a buddy to come and pick me at the dealer, etc., I am pleased with my fix.

Not every bagger had this issue, obviously. I just got lucky.

 

Just curious, what was the problem? I thought the only purpose of these slaves was to reduce lever pull.

 

That was the problem with mine. Ridiculous effort at the lever. Every other M8 bagger I rode, or even just squeezed at the dealer was easily half or less pull effort. It was just stupid that I could not get it addressed at the dealer. He just kept saying "we found no leaks", and "they all do that"

After a couple of 90 degree days in traffic jams, I ordered the Muller.

 

Ok gotcha, I thought maybe you were referring to some other kind of problem. I keep saying I'm gonna get a muller on mine after the aim sdr and heavy springs but I'm kinda getting used to the hard pull, I may wait til after Daytona bike week and see how it goes down there and if it's a pain I will break down and buy one.

 

I wouldn't care if AIM gave me one and installed their latest contraption (already went through three of their version 1 and two of the version 2's on my 2017 Limited, I would refuse and go with Muller like I did on my current bike.
It operates as they say.

 

I must say, AIM have a wonderful service. They replaced my unit without any problem or discussion. Just send a new one overseas without any cost. Just Great.

 

I should add to my above post that yes, AIM customer service was great all 3 times. I just gave up trying to get a clutch slave cylinder that operated as they stated.

 

I wonder if HD will sell a retro fit kit for the new clutch cable setup?

 

...and I will add to my post that AIM has always had great products. Reading of the experiences here about the slave did not deter me from buying the SDR clutch. I have always read nothing but positives about their CS.

Hydraulic slaves have been around for many, many years in automotive, and the trucking industry. I am not sure how HD and AIM could have botched it.
