Hydraulic Clutch install.

Anyone here install a hydraulic clutch on their '09-later touring models? When searching online, I can only find pn for models thru '04. I know the CVO touring rigs have hydraulic clutches but can't find any pn's or price info.

Late model cable clutch has a lighter pull than earlier hydraulic clutch. You might look at Magura, they have a Hydraulic/cable system that hooks up to the OEM ball ramp throw out.

Hmmmm, wondering if that will be the case after my 120R is installed and the required heavy duty spring?

I used a clutchlite in my bike to ease the lever effort with a heavier clutch spring. Bought a Diamondback cable on recommendation and have taken the clutchlite out! So a superior cable will reduce effort and may be enough to improve your comfort.
