i have 2 Xl’s and run this. Both 120 plus hp and I leave the drag strip line with two fingers on the clutch. Way easier pull than any 883/1200 stock set up. I’ve never used any easy pull kits. But this Aim hat will reduce clutch pull significantly

This may be wrong, but i had a heavy clutch pull, so i adjusted my clutch in the case and then the cable itself, then lubed up the lever. Way lighter pull now.

Mine came with a Muller Power Clutch and even with a 15% stronger spring it's still much lighter than the hydraulic clutch I had on my GSXR 1100 . But as previously mentioned , you have to work the clutch a lot more on a Sportster especially in traffic . Also , the fact that I've been pulling clutches for forty years might give me an advantage .
