Default will easy pull clutch levers help

Will the easy pull clutch levers I see advertised on ebay, etc help with my 2013 FLH?

If they do make the pull easier doen't they make you use more travel, wouldn't the engagement point be much closer to the grip? Is adjustment critical? Do they work?

I have bad carpal tunnel, and I'm looking for relief...
(also looking at softer springs, and I know about the clutch wiz and the MRC unit).

If the stock clutch on an '09 and up bike is too hard to pull for you, I would suggest surgery for your ailment. Or maybe a hand grip exerciser which may help your grip strength but aggravate your CT......I had both hands cut due to CT and many years later, no issues...

You can find a lighter spring and replace the stock frictions with something that has a higher coefficient of friction like a Barnett stock plate count Kevlar clutch.

This will reduce the lever pressure and still not slip the clutch..

The early spring is 37871-98A

The Kuryakyn "trigger" levers make life much easier as they allow you to use your index finger to do most of the work.

I've got a set of Kury "trigger" levers (New In Package) that I never used for my 2009 FLHTCU ( cable clutch and TBW ) if you're interested. I think they were $65.00 and if you're interested PM and we can work on the price.

07 and up.


This is the replacement lever under the tranny end cover- this is why so many owners find clutch adjustment "tricky"
