I've used them in the past with good luck...but I found a better solution for my exwife. Its called the ClutchWiz. Inexpensive, easy to install, and dramatically reduces clutch pull.
Wasn't aware of the "clutchwiz" device. That's what makes this forum so useful.
I was going to recommend the EZ Boy clutch pull. They're about $20. They reduce effort 40% too. Got it on my bikes.
EDIT~ After finally reading the tech info on the Clutch Wiz, it states that we lose 15A% of our clutch strength if we use the Wiz. Screw that.

Reason: add'l info
Clutch Wiz is smoother it seems to me because it still allows full range of adjustment and doesn't shorten the engagement window. It's been very helpful to an old carpenter.
heard the rekluse clutch kits are nice on harleys too..plus its like an auto-clutch as well..have one on my ktm 500 enduro and love it
Rekluse centrifugal clutch is da bomb.. I have it installed on my softy.. flawless operation.. I personally don't know how light the lever operation is because I use mine as a foot clutch.. but I know that the Rekluse centrifugal clutch is a favorite among riders with weak forearm muscles.. however, it is much more costly idea.. I paid $800 for the kit and then I installed it myself..

I installed the HD easy pull but only used the new ramp in the cable side of the tranny. Kept the stock diaphram spring in the clutch pack. Definite improvement.
I'm looking at the ez pull ramp kit for like 15 bucks on ebay. after reading about the aftermarket clutch cables that are supposed to be a lot smoother an easier to pull I may go with one of those too. I did hear clutch adjustment was a tad trickier with the ez pull ramp an almost impossible on the pre 89 evo clutches.

Yes I have this EZ Clutch kit in my 07 Deluxe. It does work and there is a noticeable difference in pulling the lever back. I did have a little bit of a tough time getting it installed correctly tho, but it was winter, and had plenty of time.
