Default Hydraulic clutch for 2021 Road King

Does anyone make a hydraulic clutch conversion kit for 2021 Touring models? I have arthritis in my left hand which sometimes makes it difficult to operate the cable clutch, even though it is regularly adjusted and lubricated.

Have you thought about installing a Mueller Power Clutch Kit. A lot of members swear buy them.

Is your clutch cable routed through the headlight nacelle? Mine was on a 23 and the clutch pull was harder than on my 08 and the friction point seemed to vary from one start to another. I replaced the new 2 piece cable with one for a '16 King that was the old style and I used the old routing. Things are back the way they used to be now. I believe the routing through the nacelle puts too many sharp bends on the cable and generates a lot of internal friction. Even the Fat Baggers improved adjuster would not have cured the "twistie" routing problem. If you had a cable clutch before and was acceptable, the old style cable and routing might do the job for you and at a fraction of the cost of a hydraulic conversion.

What's the old routing?

The hydro clutch is much worse if you have bad hands
