Question EZ pull clutch assist ?

Sad to say, the years caught up with me, (80 next year), and I have a bad case of arthritis in my clutch hand. Our last ride of the year was only a local 100 mile ride, but by the time we got back, I could barely pull in the clutch. I was told about this EZ pull clutch assist by a friend and was wondering if anyone here had any experience with it, pro/con ? From what I could find out, it's installed in the tranny side case Any input will be appreciated. BTW, I'm riding a 2003 Fatboy.

I have had 2 on different bikes and works like a charm. One was a 2005 Heritage so very close to your bike. Highly recommend. Great that your still riding.

I installed one on my 94 FXSTC, and honestly, I don't see a difference.
I tried both kinds, the other one was a perch mount, didn't see a difference with either one.

have you looked into the rekluse auto clutch? it's a little pricey, but you can buy it from a harley dealer or direct, and it comes with a 30 day money back guarantee.

Got one on my FXDL. Works a treat. Best $22 anyone could spend on their bike.

Thanks guys for the input ! Another question, did you install it yourself, and was it a PITA ?

I did my own. The only pita was the clip in the tranny. And that’s only because I didn’t have the large spring clip pliers. Other than that it’s simple
