Default Hydraulic clutch

Has anyone installed the Hydraulic cluch kit on a road king. I ordered one for mine with an install date of 8/2. Now I'm getting mixed reactions, some say there's no difference others love it. Any body have any thing to say before I drop a G-note on this?

I could see doing it if your riding is constant stop and go, and you have a hot rod chopper with a mega clutch. But on a stock RK clutch effort is very minimal already, you could get alot more with a grand than just a hydro clutch.

Just my .02

I ordered an 05 Roadglide with a hydralic clutch installed. I've got tendonitis in my elbows and the regular clutch made my condition worse. There is definitely a big difference, it's much easier to pull. I've heard of other not so expensive ways of making the clutch easier, but I do know the hydralic clutch works.

I just got one put on my Road King three weeks ago. I love it. Made a big difference in the effort to pull and smoothness of engagement. I'd recommend it.

Instead of the hydro. clutch why not consider the white bros. EZ by unit. Cost about #20 and cuts the effort by 40%. I have it in my current bike and my past 3 and it works well for me.

Thanks, I have a problem with my hand cramping up after a long day of riding.
