Default Easy effort clutch

I have a touch of arthritis creeping into my left hand. Is there an easy clutch for 1998 FXD or some other option to help. I'm 58 and it's getting uncomfortable to ride in stop/go traffic. Also approximate cost + installation (not real handy)

Thanks

Sorry for my ignorance - is that an evo year or TC88?

If its a TC88, then "00glider" did a great job describing step-by-step install of a variable pressure clutch that comes with an added bonus of reduced clutch pull.

https://www.hdforums.com/m_462937/tm.htm

I have installed one - and it is not very difficult. As 00glider mentions - they are a bit pricey - and you do have to properly adjust the clutch and cable, but neither adjustment is difficult.

The install description is top notch - much better than the directions that come with the unit. Just another reason why this forum is so great.

I saw an auto clutch from Grandier cycles. Don't have to pull the lever in first gear, only during gear changes becasue of higher rpms. Very lillte effort, would be great for a suicide shifter.

Looks interesting, would be great in traffic or parades. They have videos somewhere on the page.
