Default Clutch hard to opporate

I have just purchased a 2002 Wide Glide. My hands are small and I have a hard time feathering the clutch. I wanted to find out if a hyraulic clutch would help or maybe some levers that come in closer to the grips.

Chances are your cable (inside the sleeve)just needs to be lubed.... there is a easy zip lock bag method.

You might want to go to J&P and look at #620-745 for $22.This might be a solution to your problem.........pg

Piniongear...do you have that Easyboy LiteClutch? How does it work. I have my stock 05 w/braided cables and my clutch does wear me out sometimes. I've lubed it and it helps a lot, but goes away fast.

Chit...$25...almost can't go wrong even if it don't work.

No, my clutch is a standard issue. I just saw this at J&P and thought I might suggest it as a solution to those who have strong lever actions.........pg

What is J&P?
I hope that isn't a stupid question.

No such thing as a stupid question.
J&P Cycles is a large seller of aftermarket items for Harley and Metric bikes. They carry many old model aftermarket items for the older Harleys as well.......pg

Not trying to push or sell anything, but I have had great success with J&P parts and excellent customer service. They are a catalogue motorcycle parts company.

Sorry, don't mean to hyjack your post.

Have you considered the Harley solution? In the UK many people are going for the reduced effort clutch kitpart number 36808-05 approx $80.
