Reduced Effort Clutch - Heritage
Reduced Effort Clutch - Heritage
Well thanks to everyone for there feedback on reducing the effort needed for clutching. I had the hd reduced effort clutch installed and have realized a big difference in the effort needed to pull in the clutch, much to the delight of my left hand 
If this doesn't prove to be enough the next thing to do will be to install the teflon coated cable. Then if that isn't enough, change to boss blades. If that still isn't enough then change grips to a smaller diameter. Oh and as my husband keeps reminding me strenthen the left hand
I hope that everyone has a great holiday season

Just a suggestion, but why not get one of those hand exercisers like this one.

The're cheap but they do work. If those are not to your liking, you can always get a different kind.

I have a pretty tough spring plate on my clutch, but I never really thought much of it, My indy said he'd install the easypull for just the price of parts since he was in there anyway, Holy ****!! What a difference, like having your triger lapped on your .45. It now takes about 20% of the effort to pull in the clutch lever, which will definately help in feathering for traffic, or tight turns!

But your right a good cable will help, not as much as the kit, but it will reduce the effort needed.

so HD makes a reduced effort clutch kit but they don't install it as stock because .... ?
they think we like cracking walnuts with our left hands ?
(i know , the real answer is that they can sell the kit after purchase and make more bucks . it's a shame they have better parts than stock but won't install them when they build the bike . same goes for seats and bars on quite a few models . i understand air cleaners and exhaust pipes , they need to meet emission requirements)

The kit is stock on '06-later models.
I think Ill install the kit this winter since I'll be in there swapping cables. At least the kits are cheap.
