Default clutch relief

When I got my sporty it took both hands to pull in the clutch so I had HD install the EZ clutch apparatus. It really helped a lot and now I can hold it in as long as necessary. I have a student- new rider who is just moving up from my Rebel 250 to a 1200 sporty. Her clutch is also very stiff. I read something about an extrernal clutch helper that attaches to your clutch lever by AMP research. Any one have any expereince with this device and whether or not it rellly works?

Default RE: clutch relief

I bought one from J&P cycles for my wifes 02 Sporty.Took about 20 minutes to install and I would say it cut the clutch pull by 40-50 percent.I bought the black one versus the chrome one and it even looks like it belongs there.She is quite pleased with it I haven't heard her complain and trust me she did before I installed it.It is still harder to pull than my 06 but bearable.
