Changing the "bite' or "hook-up" would require new clutch components or experimenting with the oil type you are using in the primary.
My FLHCS was exactly the same - a very late bite, so checked clutch adjustment and fluid and it turns out that they are ‘just like that!’
My previous FLHTCU was just perfect so I added Oberon Levers and now problem is totally solved! Just perfect 👍
