Default 2021 touring models will have a cable clutch.
As seen on instagram today as dealership receives 2021 models.

Cant see how that would work with bikes equipped with RDRS.

I had heard about a new ECM this year. I had not heard about going back to cable clutch. That doesn't make much sense.

Seems it could be a remote master thats cable operated, no? Would make bar swaps easier IMO.

I just watched a video at Moonshine HD, and it showed NO hydro clutch. Simply stupid not to have a hydraulic clutch! Mine has been flawless.

Then again, we are talking about the MoCo..

Not everyone was enamored with the hydraulic clutch. Like the change to exclude the heel shifter last year, I'm fine with this. It'll be nice to be able to adjust it again, and not have that big *** reservoir hanging off the bar.

I didn't know the 2021 models had been released yet, much less shipped to dealers. The H-D website still shows the 2020 models.
