Hey also,..... she has put 2500 miles on the bike that includes a couple of parades and motorcycle rallies (street vibrations and Sturgis), so a LOT of clutch work, and still going strong.

I put it on my wife's bike last week and she really like it. Rode about 150 miles with it so far. It was a well machined part with good instructions and seems to work well. The lever is so light now it's hard for me to feel and adjust. I might get one for my sportster.

Thanks for the recommendation, I don't see how the $200 ones could be much better than that $35 one.

It's pretty easy to install. Somebody with more experience than me could do it in 5 minutes or less.

What's this clutch lever puller we are talking about? My clutch grabs right when the lever is 85-90 percent let go. Basically right at the end. My hand gets tired after awhile and pretty tough when doing stop and go. Could I get the clutch to grab say at 65-75 percent let go? Hopefully you guys get my thoughts.

But I would still like to know what the lever they mention...the thread is old so the links no longer working for ebay.

You can remove the derby cover and make a slight adjustment on your clutch to get it to grab sooner. Sounds to me that your clutch is either getting worn or it is out of adjustment as it is.

It's been a while since this post has been alive, but I was wondering if anyone can remember what eBay part it was that was bought by Strick and Brenn? The link no longer works, and it sounds perfect for my bike!

If you go to their posts and click on their name, to the left of the post, you may be able to send them a PM and ask direct, rather than through this forum.
