Yeah, REkluse is not making Auto Clutch kits for Sportsters anymore, my Sportster had a Revloc kit, but the company went out of business, the only company that I am aware of that still makes kits for Sportsters is EFM:

I hope this helps!!

Thought the OP wanted more power than what he had... those things are turds.

Not knowing what other limitations you might have, has a jockey type setup been considered? Take the clutch out of your hand?

OP has a Honda CM450A - That's a 450 inline twin rated at about 33 hp

Ridley has some 750 cc bikes, not powerful by any means, but they will give a little bit more hp and torque.

Doesn't realy matter though the OP has already ruled out everything but a sportster with an auto-clutch.

Because of my height, most of these won't work. They will have to be lowered so much that there will be nothing left in the suspension.

Used rekluse on a couple enduros I've had and they are great. contact them just because they don't market something for the sportster doesn't mean there isn't something that might work or left over on a shelf somewhere.
1.866.735.5873 I've had good luck with anyone i've dealt with there.

Props for looking for something sweet and making it fit your needs/desires rather then settling for whatever works out of the box.

Joe you are always welcome here. I am not a fan of the stock blacklines, but yours looks killer. Can you PM me some pix of it?

Just an aside, those Spyders are pretty sweet. Have a friend with one. Don't know if you like them or not. No experience with an auto clutch so can't help there
