The Muller hydro clutch is not compatible with adjustable levers. Anyone want a black oberon?

What ? Are you serious ? I just bought Oberon clutch lever and was really looking forward to install Muller. Why is there an incompatibility ? Did Muller say that ? I'm so disappointed cuz Oberon feels so good and I really need muller for easy pull.

I bled the line 3 times, removed the hydro clutch and remounted once. Had the oberon on the furthest setting. Clutch would not disengage. emailed Muller. Mr. Muller responded quickly. Stated an accessory lever with geometry closer to the handle or a master cylinder with a different volume would be two causes. I would think the oberon at its furthest setting would be ok but didn't work for me. Installed the oe lever and works perfect throughout. That said, the oberon on the 2nd setting is an easier pull than the hydro clutch. Hydro clutch is close though. Was a frustrating 3 days. Should probably be on the install guide. Also, if any mineral oil contacts any of the seals, it will result in failure. Not a big risk but good to know.

Just installed the Muller unit and my Oberon lever works fine. Huge difference in friction zone. Big improvement.

Oh man.... Thanks for your feedback. I got lil depressed for a while after I read that other comment it not working. I'm trying to dial in my bike, Clutch effort and feel is on the top along with suspension, forks and seat. If this was a no go, I'll reluctantly have to buy new Indian Challenger. Thank God.

Also WTF how can 2 bikes be different ? I'm trying to narrow this down. It worked for you and didn't for other guy. What year/make/model is yours ? Thank you.

I need this Muller and Oberon combination to work along with suspension, bars and seat or I'll have to switch brands.

2016 FLHTP basically an Electra Glide Standard with a different wiring harness. Clutch and levers are the same. I did have to run the lever further out as I could not find neutral easily with the levers dialed close to the bar. Shifted fine, just couldn't find neutral at a stop.

I finally got to ride the '16 StreetGlide with the Muller slave.

I am disappointed to say the least.
The clutch is almost as stiff with the Muller as the stock slave was.
Maybe 30 to 40% lighter; if that much.

Should have bought the AIM LightForce......................
