I used this one the only thing I didnt like about it was that it pushed the friction zone out quite a bit. but after adjusting properly, worked really great, both smoother and much lighter pull

That's good to know. This is the one I think I'll order.

I put one of those in my wifes bike and it made a big difference for her. Easy install too.

Ride an fxdl for a bit Then take your sporty out and you will never ever again think about how much it takes to pull the lever. Try trigger lever I have them on the sporty and they make a big difference.

Mine is great, but it is new and I believe HD threw their own easy clutch in these models. can do it with the pinky.

What year sportster are you dealing with? the later models have a easy pull clutch that can be fitted on some earlier models

My Sportster is a 2000 883/1200 and it flat wears me out in traffic.

2006 harley changed the diaphram spring on the sportster offering a 20% reduction in lever effort over the prior years. There are 2 different types one for the 883 and on for the 1200. they might retrofit to a 2000 but maybe someone else could chime in on the retrofit

forgot to mention that I lost my left thumb and index finger sometimes just coming to a light would be a struggle to hold in the clutch and like I said it really helped me with the pull.
