Default 2014 hydraulic clutch adjust ?

hey folks at the risk of being captain obvious - i have a 2014 street glide special , just swapped and rode my buddies brand new softail

They can be adjustable with a adjustable clutch lever.

Not adjustable....You could get an Oberon adjustable lever if you really need to adjust something...but they are not cheap.....sounds like you clutch is normal....leave it alone....imho

I would recommend flushing your clutch fluid Dot 4.. Not saying it's going to shift at the point where you want but I just flushed mine out on a 14 Street Glide and it was gunky. Actually I am surprised at how much better it shifts.

You can also install an AIM VPC, and the clutch pull will almost be cut in half. It will also handle a lot more toque, if you choose to do any engine mods. I went with the VP84...

I had an M8, sounds normal. The cable clutch is where its at, I have no idea what MOCO was thinking when they went with the hydraulic unit.

I know! Like the water cooled heads and all that other stuff that goes along with progress. What were they thinking? Oh, wait. My '14 Rushmore is far and away the best bike I've owned. Infotainment system and everything else about it. Hell, even the clutch is nice. I must have gottten a bad one one since it's never given me any trouble.
