Useful information
Just thought I would throw this out for anyone that might be interested.
For those that know and fight with the stiffness of the SE diaphragm clutch spring, I found out today that after I installed one of Bakers "Heavy Duty Throwout Bearing Kits" the clutch lever pull if much lighter and very smooth feeling.
Money well spent!

There may be other alternatives such as Baker, but I installed an H-D Diamondback clutch cable a few years ago and was amazed at how much lighter the pull became. I actually removed my EZ style clutch device.

explanation;
The "EZ Boy Lite Clutch" is an extended lever kit ( $26) added inside the trap door for easier lever pull ( by longer travel) very popular since the early 90's.
( probably the best money you can spend on your bike)
- starting in 2007 HD used similar "EZ-PULL" clutch which also reduces left hand effort, but makes clucth ( not cable) adjustment more fiddley/ crucial for many owners
an upgraded clutch is often overlooked as part of a power upgrade...until something wears out

I previously had installed a Baker Heavy Duty Throw out bearing. Yesterday I installed a Rekluse auto clutch with a Screaming Eagle clutch spring. I was a bit worried that the new clutch spring would be harder to disengage. I too found that the lever pull remained light. I'm very pleased.
