Hey Smitty;
I bought this lever for my '17 FLHTK. I have not installed it yet because its been so G/dam cold in the northeast.
If you installed your own, does it involve anything more than a pair of snap-ring pliers? Are there any spacers or lubrication needed?
I sure appreciate your advice.
Thanks
Rick

Hydraulic clutch
I got to take my first ride today on my new to me 2017 Road Glide Ultra with 2075 miles. Loved the ride, brakes and controls. The clutch doesn't have much of a friction zone. It seems to catch all at once and at the end of the clutch lever travel. Is there an adjustment for the clutch?

Check out on different posts here. The friction point doesn't change but I exchanged my stock lever for a lever that was heat bent to bring the friction point closer. With exchange it was about $50. Takes 2 minutes to change. Im love it. PM me if you want me to dig deeper for the vendor.

I tried the Obrerion levers and didn't like the smaller size also for me they were to squared off and on rides with heavy traffictgey seem to dig into my fingers , I do have arthritis in my fingers so that's that . I do still have them and should list them in the for sale section. Check out soft brake as they are original levers bent to reduce the reach. I bought both brake and clutch and wish I had done it 3 years ago. When you place your order it is for exchange and the company even give you a posted paid envelope to mail yours back . The clutch release is just off the grip and the brake you can grab with a finger or two.
