Need Easy Pull Clutch Information
I need some information regarding an easy pull clutch. I had surgery on my left hand and need to reduce the pull effort on the clutch on my 2012 Street Glide. Drag Specialties show an Easyboy Lite Clutch for $34.95 and a Power Clutch for $172.95. Both claim to reduce the pull by 40%. Other than the price, does anyone know anything about these. What are the differences and/or benefits of one over the other?
Thanks for your responses

There are actually several other devices out there, Clutchlite being another. Many of these devices work by increasing clutch lever travel, which in turn makes clutch adjustment critical. On my older bike I found it very difficult to get my Clutchlite to release when stationary. I later fitted an H-D Diamondback cable that so improved action that I removed the Clutchlite. So while I don't suggest it is the only thing you should do, a Diamondback cable worked for me and will work with any other device you may decide to add.

The clutch ramp from my 1990 FLHS was a 15° ramp as opposed to the 18° ramp on most stock bikes. This was much easier to pull but clutch adjustments were very tricky and I wore out a couple throwout bearings figuring it out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have learned that my bike has H-D's version of the Easy Pull Clutch, which isn't enough. Mechanic told me today that the only other option is to go with a hydraulic clutch, which cost a lot more.

Your mechanic knows nothing! He is simply telling you what is available from Harley themselves. Spend a little time reading through other threads in here, as I suggested earlier. There is a lot on HDF about this subject and there is bound to be something that will help you.
