It is a ratio / lever that allegedely makes the opeartion on the clutch a LOT easier - about $70-00

Its not expensive but

- does it work ?

I do a lot of stop start stuff (dont ask) and my wrist has been opearated on and is a bit weak

Any assistnace woudl be appreciatted

Go to the gym !!! Joking,,,, I think Hilly , (a member ), had a write up on this recently , he was very happy with it,, he and others will chime in.

'03 clutches had a heavier spring, 330lbs, then in '04 HD went to a 300lb spring, (pn 37871-04 - 300lbs - Yellow dot / Yellow Stripe) I'm sure there would be heaps of guys here that would have one of the later springs lying around that you could have/buy off they. I believe the ramps were changed some time also, to ease the lever action. - Rob

My knowledge with Harleys is nothing compared with a lot of guys here & on the US forums. What I do know is from experience, reading these forums & learning from my & other people’s mistakes, especially my own.
I was hoping you wouldn’t ask me the question regarding what the ramps are, LOL, so here goes.
The ramps are situated under the transmission cover on the right side of the bike. Suffice to say the clutch cable activates it, which then pushes the clutch push-rod to release the clutch on the opposite (primary drive) side of the trans.
If you’re handy with mechanical stuff, then yes you can change the spring yourself, & it is quite easy to do.
A shop manual is one of the must haves for the DIYer. - Rob

Pic I had on the computer showing the ramp... Under the ramp , (where his finger is pointing ), are the 3 balls which ,, when the clutch is pulled,, activate the ramp , which inturn pushes the push rod ,,( between tranny side and the primary side ),, to disengage the clutch, as mentioned above. Google , " how to install Harley clutch cable " .

Trying to keep this simple. Cheers

Here is the pic !!!!

Tnaks for that much appreciatted i must say

 

Cheers

Picture belongs to Gary (FSG) over on the HTT site

Great pictures Speedzer,,, That will help lots of people out ,, so they can get a good idea how the ramp,, balls ,, and clutch operate from tranny side to primary side !!!
