OK Guys, I need help to stay on 2 wheels. I have nerve damage in my left hand which has made my hand considerably weaker and the clutch is hard for me to operate. I have previously installed an easy pull clutch kit and adjustable clutch lever but a reinjury this spring has weakened my hand even more. I am looking into aftermarket kits to allow me to use the clutch less and without and re-tuning of my bike. I have my 103 right where I want it so anyone out there have suggestions
If I understand correctly the DynoJet Quick Shift kit has to go with one of their tunes and I will not re-tune my engine.
I second the Rekluse ... A close friend has one on his Trike ( converted Road Glide ) and it keeps him riding ... He was an Iron Worker ans fell from rigging ... Paralyzed from the waist down ... We help him getting on and off ... His wheelchair is Quick disconnected on the back of the Trike
Recluse clutch and a Pingle electric shifter. That's the way I will be heading when I no longer can shift my trike with my hand shifter setup. Can't shift with my left leg, so this will be my next setup.

It would be in your best interest to STAY OFF your motorcycle until your hand is completely rehabilitated. The biggest downfall to an old guy is an old guy. In my area boomers are wrecking at an alarming rate on the weekends.
If your hand becomes rehabilitated Id look for a later model Harley with a hydraulic clutch.
You could consider a Goldwing DCT which has an automatic transmission.
When out riding the other day I ran across a senior rider about my age that went from a Harley to a GoldWing just for that reason. He had only 1000 miles on it but said he liked it.

I respectfully disagree. One, the hydraulic clutch is a harder pull than the cable, and second, the best rehabilitation is to keep at it, not stop. There is a difference to taking it easy, and flat out giving it up.
There are options out there to help people that have special needs in these situations, and I for one, love the innovative advances.
