Softail Slim S

    My wife just scored the Softail Slim S (110 Cu) that has, of course the hydraulic clutch. 

    Needless to say, this is a "heavy duty" clutch but she finds her hand gets sore riding in traffic.  Does anyone know if there is anything we can do to make the clutch "pull in" easier?  I have an "easy clutch" on my Road King (REALLY GREAT!!) but I've heard that one cant put that kit on the hydraulic clutch.  Anyone know something about this subject or done something to make the clutch pull easier?

    Thanks all, appreciate any comments.... P

    you could try removing the SE clutch spring and replacing it with the stock 103b spring.

    there is also this, not sure if it works with hydro

    I don't know much about the hydraulic clutches but with my non hydraulic clutch I needed a clutch upgrade. The SE clutch spring clamped well bit was heavy so I changed to an aim spring which supposedly has heavier clamping pressure again but is lighter to pull. Don't know how that is but it worked for me. 
    Have a look at Yankee forums as they try everything

    AIM Corp make the clutch assy fitted to the Slim S. 
    Is the stock spring in the clutch pack orange? I can't recall.
    If your wife isn't going to beat on the cutch then a lighter spring could work. Stock, the Slim S is set to handle 130ftlbs of torque.
