The parts list including the $37 new lock out switch totals $638 list and chrome adds another $150. That of course doesn't include any $'s for labor.

I'm guesing at a dealer you're talking $1,000+. In the end you get a clutch mechanism that is no easier to pull than the OE '07 and up however it requires no adjustment and the clutch master cylinder on the left handlebar cosmetically balances the brake master cylinder on the right handlebar.

No clutch cable adjustment and cosmetic balance for $1,000. God bless you. That kind of attention to detail either deserves recognition or a trip to the building with padded rooms. LOL

As far as price. I ordered everything through Chicago HD and it cost me 20% less plus no sales tax. Cost wise it wasn't that bad. Plus I do all my work myself.

Because I didn't want a chrome master cylinder I went into the V-Rod catalog and ordered a black master cylinder (it's the same size, 11/16) All bolted up great. If anyone is interested I can provide all the part numbers.
Now, this is important, if you do this there is one more thing you have to do. There is a clutch lock out switch in your left switch housing (this prevents you from starting the bike while it is in gear) You need to change out the switch because it is a normally closed switch on the clutch cabled bikes and a normally open switch on the hyd. clutch bikes. If you don't your bike will only be able to start while in nuetral and not in gear while the clutch is pulled in. What also happens if you don't change this switch out is your security (key) light will go on while riding and your 6 gear light will not function.
I can't say enough about how better this bike now shift's. Way better! The only complaints I've heard from people is that the hyd system is alittle more "abrupt" then the cable but it doesn't take long to get used to. If i can answer any question's for anyone plz shout my way. Rich
