Thanks...it sucks not to ride.
Hope you heal up quick... Stinks to be injured.

At times I have hip and leg pains that make me leave the bike at home some days. It's not worth the risk no feeling well enough to ride...

Take care and let us know about the install of the clutch upgrade.

Yup I did. And after that, I found that clutch adjustment was critical to proper clutch operation.

Then I also bought this product and it was perfect: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sportster-19...54_U-Q&vxp=mtr

Decided to shorten up my external breather line. Originally had a filter exiting the frame behind the derby cover. Went with DK Custom's chrome catch can.

So are you saying you are using both at the same time ?

Seems like you would only use one (Muller) or the other (Easy Pull)
but not both at the same time...

thanks for any info

I use the Magnum Sterling Chromite II cables. Seems to be good quality cables. Hopefully the combination of these cables and the Muller power clutch will work like a dream.

To me, both rocker covers/cam-cover appear to be from EMD.
(cam cover is over a stock "cut-down" case)
