Default 2014 left side master cylinder?

Why is there what appears to be a left handlebar master cylinder as well as the right handlebar? Is the clutch now hydraulic?

if hydraulic, there would be a master cylinder.

Oh now we have to buy 2 cans of brake fluid instead of just 1 @ 7.99 x 2 = $ 15.98
that's going to break us.

What was wrong with the cable clutch? Other than it's a bit heavier on the 103 than the 96? I like the fact you can adjust the cable. (I'm a fan of adjustable cable clutches from my Mustang Cobra track car days). Set the engagement where you want it.

adjustable clutches are awesome. They r practically flawless. U just bleed the line once in a great while. no biggie. Notice when your clutch gets hot, u get alittle extra play in your lever from the clutch plates expanding from heat. That will never happen with a hydraulic clutch. This is a nice improvement. Not sure about some of these other gimmicks though

The Road King won't get it, but the rest of the touring models and the trike will (I think that is what I remember).
