Default Softbreak Clutch lever installed !

I just installed a Softbreak Clutch Reduced Reach lever on my 2017 Ultra Limited. This lever is supposed to improve your reach and control of the friction zone. Easy install. I will take it out for a test latter today and let you know how it does. { https://softbrake.com/product-catego.../clutch-levers)

Awesome 👍. I had soft brake lever but needed more pullback so switched to Oberon lever and love it. Will be adding Muller hydro clutch soon, hopefully everything works as expected.

I have both the clutch and rear brake pedal from SoftBrake, The rear reduces the angle of your foot by 20 degrees, I found it makes getting on the rear brake a lot easier, ordered mine with the 1" extension in length.

Must have some real small hands as easy as a hydraulic clutch is

I also added the Brake, Clutch and extended rear brake pedal from Softbrake. They certainly do feel different at first, but they do feel better after riding with them for a while now. The clutch being closer really helps with slow speed maneuvering in parking lots. You'll really appreciate the feel of the clutch and staying in the friction zone if you happen to practice slow speed cone courses. Just an FYI, the clutch and brake levers are a "core swap", so you need to send them your original levers or you will be charged a fee for them.

So far I agree with Zonktfied. " They certainly do feel different at first, but they do feel better after riding with them for a while now. The clutch being closer really helps with slow speed maneuvering in parking lots. You'll really appreciate the feel of the clutch and staying in the friction zone if you happen to practice slow speed cone courses" As far as the core charge ($49) no where in there website is the amount of the core charge mentioned only that it is an exchange!
