clutch pulsing at lever

[bimsb6]

is it normal for the clutch lever to feel like a front brake with a warped disc ?
just picked up a street rod this evening and noticed it .

Welcome to the club website Bimsby6. There's not too many Street Rod riders come onto the Revolution pages, probably coz you're the first in the club who frequents the web site.
Assuming the clutch on your Street Rod and all other 'Rods is identical then I have no answer, but like a warped disc brake, does the pulsing lessen as you slow down and increase as you speed up? Are you actually gently pulling on the lever a little as you rest your fingers there.
If you don't get any joy on here, try the V-Rod Forums site where there may be others with a similar experience.

Certainly not normal in my experience.

Is it under warranty, & what is the mileage. They have a problem with the clutch springs wearing grooves into the hub causing uneven action. Have changed a few under warranty.
