Clutch pressure
I have noticed how much easier it is to pull in the clutch lever on the new rubber sportsters. Is there any way that a pre 2004 sporty can get the clutch eased as when travelling in town, the constant pulling in can be a bit tiresome; any ideas?

Re: Clutch pressure
I have just fitted a new clutch cable to my 89 and it is real light. I thin we just leave them alone and do not realise how heavy they are getting
