10 inch lbs sounds a little lite, book has 90 - 100 inch lbs.

Hey Wiz I hope this was a mis-print the torque spec on your web site states, "100 to 110 in lbs or 8 ft. lbs" Thats is what I did was torqued to 100 in lbs.

...and when you back the throttle down to hold a new constant speed, your RPM shouldn't drop, either.

Funny, when we bought the '09 new for my wife she had trouble pulling the clutch lever (Cancer drained her hand strength). Steve the Service Manager at Antelope Valley Harley suggested replacing the clutch spring with one from a 96" engine. Wife didn't have any problem with the clutch on her Deluxe. Made all the difference in the world, she no longer had any problem pulling the clutch. When we bought her the new '11 trike I took the '09 and rode it until '14 when I traded it in for a Freewheeler. 80+thousand miles on the stock clutch with a lighter spring and never had a slippage problem. I'm 6' and 250# give or take. When I first took her trike I ran her at 55, then nailed the throttle without downshifting and she didn't slip and I had the stock primary sprocket in. Sorry you are having problems
