Clutch cables
Put 10" yaffe monkey bars on my 2012 Street glide used a clutch cable from Drag Specialties. Every since doing this my clutch pulls a lot harder than it used to, is there a better or easier pulling cable than the one I have?
Are you sure it's the cable causing the issue and not how it's routed? If it's binding in the least at the lever it's going to be harder to pull especially if it's coming out at the lever then making a 90 degree turn down to route into the fairing.
All im saying is, if the cable is bending before it goes through the fairing, it will be harder to pull because its binding. I have 12 bars, not monkey bars though, but see what I mean? The cable flows...

Ya mine have a little more bend than that, talked to my tech today he said drag cables don't work with bends near as good as Barnett cables and my trans is leaking where the cable goes in anyway, so gonna try a Barnett cable

I've tried a couple Drag Specialties clutch cables on my bike with 14" apes and they binded pretty badly. I lube the latest one pretty regular to help the pull on it till I can change it to a better cable.
