Default Reduced effort clutch. A good Mod?

I mentioned to somebody that my '03 FLHTCUI needs a new clutch cable. He said he put the reduced effort clutch in, and he loves it.
Anybody use it in their 88s? Is it a good Mod? Any problems or regrets?

I put a similar one in mine and love it. It's a bit easier to pull for sure, I have a heavier clutch spring. If your changing the cable might as well add this as it's no extra labor.

I originally installed one on my wife's bike and although it is noticeably easier, I ended up putting a hydraulic system.

My wife bought a new '03 and the dealer fitted one for her, before she took delivery. There are various brands of them available. I used one on my Evo, which was less successful, but found that a Diamondback cable gave a worthwhile improvement. You could try both for an even easier life!

Replace the cable with the Teflon lined cable and install the EZ clutch ramp/ball; it is worth the $$ and effort.
