Very nice ride. Congratulations. You're not alone in your feelings towards the hydraulic clutch. I installed adjustable levers on my buddy's 2012 Ultra. He was quite a bit happier. Enjoy!

Congrats on the new scoot. Colors contrast on the bike look nice. Enjoy the ride!

I would say what weight? If you use the friction zone correctly.
But I have not ever ridden a bike with a hydraulic clutch so I don't know if it works the same way. Does it?
Is the same (friction zone) still there?

Best I can explain it is it feels kind of like a compound bow. Easy to pull back and hold, but it all happens at once when you release it.
