This is my first bike as I've been the bitch behind for the last um well several decades.. I'm having a hard time w/clutch and trying to find an Easy Clutch or something similar.. Any ideas? I'm waiting for the stock handlebars I ordered from JP and am hoping to have the clutch issue solved ASAP so I can get out there and learn to ride.... So excited!




For the life of me I can't get a whole photo on this thing. But here she is... My sporty☺️

 

Burly sells an easy clutch. Not sure off the top of my head which years it fits.

Google search Burly.

 

Here ya go, much cheaper. You're welcome!

 

Yup. That clutch is a pain. Had a 79 and now 04 sporty. Clutch is still a S.O.B. I just got used to it and try to stay out of traffic where I have to be on it all the time. I also adjusted its rotation on the bar so I could get a more comfortable squeeze on the clutch. I don't know what year it was changed but the new'r sportsters have an easier clutch. Good luck.

 

I had the same year Sportster. I installed the Muller easy clutch kit and it made a huge difference! Very smooth operation.

It's a quite a bit more money than the Burley, but it's a top quality piece. Easy to install with hand tools. Worth the extra it costs in my book.

Welcome,
I have to second the suggestion to get the ergonomics right, as well as making sure there is no binding in the cable, as those are simple (and free) items to address.
Sit on the bike and have some one take string from your shoulder over the grip to make sure the pull is straight and not angled. That made a noticeable difference on mine.
