Hi all . My wife saw a Harley Davidson clutch release update kit somewhere on her online wanderings that had the HD part number listed. Neither of us can find it now and my dealer's parts man isn't aware of its existence. Can anyone supply that number? TIA Clint

 

ya know i got the new 07 with reduced effort and all i can say is after getting stuck in traffic this a.m. man is that clutch a pian. cant begin to wonder what they are like without reduced kit.

 

The one you install inside the derby cover won't work on alot of sportsters.I bought an AMP power clutch from J&P cycles for around $80 and it reduced the effort by about 50%.It is a simple bolt on operation and may take 20 minutes tops.It goes right up by the clutch lever and looks like it belongs there.You can get a chrome model for about $20 more.here is a link to the power clutch. http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup...=Harley&page=1

 

Ok ,wife now remembers ( aided by a moderate wine buzz) that it was an improved ramp and ball release assembly that goes in the primary cover and also that the kit included a clutch diaphrgam spring.

 

Have you checked in the "Tech" section? I know I've seen it discussed on these threads somewhere!

 

Maybe your wife meant this? VPC

Tried it and for my 99 RKC it reduces the needed musclepower by 35%, it will only do so at lower revs, if you're a high rev. shifter you won't have much benefit from it.

Try to google somewhat more for the reseller in the US since I believe it is an American made product.

I'm having it installed soon, together with my bigbore operation[8D]

 

Hurray ! We finally found it. HD part # 36808-05. That's the good news. The bad news is that it turns out to be for Twin Cam models only. We did find an aftermarket kit that should do the job, however. Gonna give it a try and will report back. http://www.phaedruscycle.com/
Thanks to all who helped. Clint

 

i hope it works out but the clutch lever travel will most likely be reduced.That is why I suggested the AMP power clutch.I can tell you it works and quite well and retains the stock lever travel.

 

Thanks Diablo, I understand what you're saying about trade-offs with altered ramp angles. I'm going to do a bit more research before changing anything. I need to figure out how the other types of clutch assists, such as yours) work. Clint

 

relli if your clutch bothers you something is wrong unless they changed the clutch from 06 to 07.I have an 06 883L and the the clutch is so easy to pull it felt funny at first and took some getting used to because of that.My clutch is easier to pull than my wifes is even after installing the reduced effort kit on hers.Not by much but you can still tell.
