Default Clutch conversion kit

I just found out that Harley doesn't offer a hydraulic clutch coversion kit for my '07 King Classic. What a bummer.

I assume you are talking hydraulic? If that's the case, you can get the master cylinder from Harley and Joker Machine makes an actuator cover that uses the stock pushrod. You have to piece it together. I have the part numbers at home and I think it was going to cost about $500 to do it to mine.

I have a Magura hydraulic clutch that I got from Drag Specialties. It's been on the bike 4 years without a problem and it is effortless to use.

I have a 2005 Ultar Classic with a Maguar Hydralic Clucth I ran low on mineral oil so I added some but now the clutch lever moves about one inch before it touches the master cylinder
plunger not sure if it's because of air or it needs rebuild, bike as 53000 miles I have it since 2011

Try some of the new models with the hydraulic clutch and you will be thankful you have cable. I was just riding two different bikes today; 09 Electra Glide and 17 Ultra Limited. I much prefer the cable. There is hardly any friction zone with the hydraulic. To each his own.

I have a '15 Road King with cable clutch and a '17 Limited with hydraulic. I'll take the cable over the fluid any day. Easier operation and I can adjust it exactly where I want the cable clutch, not so with the fluid.

One of the other guys, $tonecold, over on one of the M8 threads has broke down the parts/price list to revert BACK to cable from hydraulic, which I am seriously thinking about doing after MoCo figures out this stupid Transmission Fluid Migration issue my bike. Then of course I'll nee to check into the whole Warranty thing........

To the OP...... seridously, check out a hydraulic clutch carefully before you leap into it......
