Default Hydralic Clutch Conversion

I'd like to convert my cable clutch on a 2003 FLHTCI from a cable clutch to a hydralic clutch. The cable cluthch has always been very stiff. I added an EasyBoy Lite clutch kit but it only helped marginally.

Any recommendations on kits to convert to hydralic?

AIM VPC and/or Muller ramps would be easier/cheaper and achieve good results.

My 2018 RGU has a hydraulic clutch and I’m not impressed with it. Even after the recall work was done.

Steve,

You stumbled across one of the reason I do not ask technical questions on this site anymore. No one actually answers technical questions, they just tell you they would not do what you want to.

Harley offered a kit for the older Harley, 46448-05 that claimed a 30% reduction in pull.. I do not know if you can find one or if it is still available.

You might get a better answer in the Primary transmission section of the forums. I don't have any experience swapping but I know from my own experience that in my opinion the hydraulic clutch sucks on my 2015. its almost as if its all or nothing. hard to feather out the clutch. and there is no adjustment as far as I am aware.

No help on the hydraulic conversion, how long since you lubed the cable?

I converted my 2000 Heritage Springer a few years ago. I used a v-rod hyd clutch cover. Best thing I ever did.
I have a 117, MVA heads, S&S 570 cams, heavy SE spring, SE VP clutch. I could not be happier.
