Default Clutch issue. Please help!!

I just purchased a 2016 Heritage Softail. My former bike had a clutch assist mechanism (I've got a bum wrist from an accident). Engaging the clutch on my new bike is starting to get problematic and I do not want to stop riding!

I've searched all over for an ez clutch or a lever that might help me but it seems as though everything I find will not work on my bike. Any suggestions? I'm desperate here; any help would be greatly appreciated.

How about a Rekluse clutch? You would have to shift a bunch less and save that hand. Been thinking about it for those days that the arthritis brothers attack. I don't know anyone that has one on a Harley but the videos look pretty cool. do have a friend that has one on his Yamaha 4 wheeler that has a clutch and is happy with it.

+1 on the Rekluse for Softails.. I have put about 7000 miles since I installed it... zero issues.. stop and go traffic is a breeze.. it is like riding a scooter.. :-)

Sure.. it is not cheap and installation cost is probably not going to be cheap (although you can install it yourself.. it does not require to remove the clutch basket like previous designs)

Have a '16 Heritage and '12 Blackline and the best money I spent on them both was $115 for the Clutch Wiz. Reduced pull pressure by maybe 40%. Now traffic is no longer a problem, I'm an old beat up carpenter and my hands are always sore.

How about a jockey shift? Don't have to worry about your hand with a foot clutch and you can keep riding
