My fiancé just picked up her '14 SG. She loves the bike and it is obviously much tighter than my '07. Her only issue is with the long pull on the hyd clutch. It's hard on her hand to reach that far and pull to the grip. It's also hard, over time, to smoothly release since the point of engage is so far out. As I understand there are "no adjustments?". We are looking at a possible lever modification. She's a true rider, but just has small hands. Her Sporty and Deuce were fine, just having a minor issue here. Any suggestions out there?

yeah try this,, go down and look at a reduced pull clutch and brake blades.. we got some for my wife because she to has small hands and the blades on her slim were to much of a pull for her and with the new blades its much easier for her, not quite as easy as the sportster but way better then stock
Thanks to all. I experienced some buffering on top of my helmet while doing the test ride, anyone else have this problem? Has anyone replace the stock windshield for a larger one too? I bought the bike! Silver and I did not get the special.
Ive had mine for a week, and I have 1000 miles on it.
Everything that is new from last year i am very happy with. BTW is a SGS.
The linked braking system is awesome, the vent in the fairing works as stated. The shocks are better, and I love the hydro clutch. I also love the infotainment cent. The only thing I don't like are the floor boards vs my 10 street glide. They look very cheap in comparison.
I would like taller handle bars......

I have the hyd clutch on my CVO softie and its the same thing...friction point at the very end. the upside you don't have to completely compress the lever to shift but i find my hand getting extremely tired in stop and go traffic when your constantly feathering the clutch. 4000 miles and its still the same I don't like it at all i was disappointed that my 14 SGS will have the same setup.
