Question to everyone with 21+ models, is the friction zone on cable clutch wider compared to hydraulic ?
yes, wider friction zone. Thst being said I got used to the hydraulic on my 14 Limited 113,000 miles ago, I love the cable on my 22 also. 22 cable has a lighter pull.
My '24 is a two some times three finger clutch. ymmv Even with bending the upper cable to fit the tall boy bars. Every bike I have owned in the last 50+ years gets the clutch lever cut so I don't crush my other fingers.
My 2019 M8 hydraulic clutch was much tighter than my 2008 TC cable clutch.
I put in a Rekluse slave cylinder and it made a tremendous difference. Now they are about equal.
The aftermarket slaves make all the difference. I have found mine to be lighter and smoother than the cable, and no click in the pull like my buddys 2022 RG
It is unfortunate that Harley could not glean what they should have from the aftermarket and made the system work
