Burly Easyboy Lite Clutch kit

#13
I have been running my build with the SE heavy clutch since 2008. I have about 55,000 miles on this build and this clutch. I didn't mind the clutch pull when it was first installed. As the years have gone by and I am not as strong as I used to be, pulling the clutch, especially in stop and go traffic started to become more and more difficult for me. I rode a stock bike at the end of season last year and it was hard for me to believe how much harder my clutch lever pulls than stock. I decided I had to do something.
I read on here about variable pressure clutches and decided that is what I wanted to try. I went to talk to a trusted indy to get his opinion and he convinced me to try the Burly Easyboy lite clutch kit first. It is just a replacement part. It replaces the arm that the clutch cable attaches to. It doesn't affect the clutch lockup at all. It costs about $30. I took his advice and tried it. It works very well.
I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to reduce the amount of effort it takes to pull the clutch lever.

Burly Boys Reduced Effort Clutch 2008-13 Touring
So I was researching this part further for a future project (when bike is apart)
The little plastic piece you put in by the clutch lever......my fear is this will crack over time through torque cycles (pulling/releasing lever), freeze/thaw cycles (winter/summer in many states). I am wondering why this isn't made of a steel/aluminum type of material for more longevity.
Can anyone comment on that? or suggest a better, more improved part? (even if its higher cost) Talking 2008-13 touring here. Thanks.
