The issue with the Hydraulic clutch was that it wasn't adjustable and activation began at its farthest point. This made trying to utilizing the clutch while riding at slow speeds very fatiguing.
@@digitalmischiefHD I have a CVO bike, with a Hydraulic Clutch. It’s a “feel thing”. You get used to it. The point that is lost in the discussion, is to your point “it’s not adjustable”, however the clutch engages EVERY-TIME In The Same Place..ALL The Time. 💯 The Friction Zone never changes. The “pull” of the Lever is much easier in traffic, and is more user friendly in that situation. I will not ever purchase a bike without a Hydraulic Clutch, because of the reasons stated above. 😂 ✌️
@@genekelley7579 While I agree that being static equals consistency, i think that argument is invalid if the placement is consistently wrong for that rider. I do agree the pull is easier but I would be willing to trade that for adjust-ability. There is a reason motor officers (who utilize the clutch all day everyday, swap out the levers on any hydraulic clutches so that they can close the gap on that activation.
Does anyone know just how much this pull is reduced? (Percentage) Just trying to NOT aggravate my guitar hand. I guess I can check their website. FYI; Wow! Never mind. It's 50 percent.
Great video, I will be getting one. However, did (or should) you have to adjust the clutch after this? Also, (not being a mechanic) I wish you'd explain relieving the tension of the cable before you cracked the trans case.
I didn't show the release of the tension on the cable because there are two different types. The one peice cable and also the two peice cable. And yes, a clutch adjustment is a great idea after the replacement of the easy clutch.
@@DrHarley It would be no problem to work with us. From the looks of it, you have a 1:1 copy of our Power Clutch. You probably won't recognize any difference.
I know it's hindsight but it would have been interesting to hook a scale of some kind to the clutch lever and measure the before and after but nice job anyway Great step by step video
I have watched some videos of doing this and some do and some don’t take the derby cover off and adjust the clutch inside do you have to or not I have a 2022 tri glide thanks
That part will not change the adjustment of the clutch. However, it affects the adjustment on the cable because you need to collapse the adjuster to remove the cable from the actuator
@@DrHarleyThe Advanblack arm is slightly longer and the ramps are different degree. The clutch rod behind the derby cover should always be readjusted. On a Muller (which this is a knock off copy of) the adjustment is 1/8 turn out after light seat (with cable fully slacked). Then adjust cable to approx 1/16" free play at the perch. It most certainly does require this FULL adjustment.
Any need to adjust rod settings on the left side? Saw another vid that covered that process in conjunction with right side pieces? Thanks, good video. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Fantastic video Doc!!! Always educational and entertaining!
Thank you much.
🛑🛑 Nice Job Doc!💯
Harley should have never gone away from the Hydraulic Clutch. 💯👍
Thanks for the detailed video. 💯😀👍
I agree.

@@genekelley7579 in the end, it boils down to preference.

Great video as always!
Thank you.

@@DrHarley LOL! Mine's the antique. 96 Road King. I'm sure it's going to be a little more simple.
Yes it is simple. Loosen the jam nut ar the adjuster and remove all the adjustment.
Wonder how it compares to the Mueller
Actually, I would have no idea. I have not installed one. That would be a good side by side comparison. I have to see what I can do to acquire one.
@@DrHarley I just installed one and the Advanblack looks very similiar
They do. I looked up the Muller, the Advanblack is less money. By over 70.00. Hay I save where I can.
@@DrHarley Oh dang $70 less, wish I would have seen this video earlier lol

Thank you. I can tell you with the 30% stiffer springs, the clutch pull is so much easier and better in traffic.
@@DrHarley Yeah getting older and I get the dreaded Claw sometimes especially in traffic going to try one
@1995dresser I couldn't be happier with mine.
Did you adjust the clutch as well? This upgrade normally requires clutch adjustment.
Yes I did.

Hello and good evening
You should jump onto the live chat during the video.
Hey Dr,
Are they a universal fit? Also, approx $.
They are for M8 baggers and softails with the cable clutch. Cost is 99.00 on advanblacks website.
What's that filler neck with an air chuck on it?
Not sure what youre talking about, I will have to re-watch and let you know.
@@DrHarley immediately to the left of your transmission cover
@LushikuteZikatojirik oh that's the dipstick vent. It vents the pressure from the oil sump
@@DrHarley I gotcha, too fancy for my 2013
Hope Müller does not find out about Advanblack's copyright infringement.
Advanblack is Chinese. They won’t care.
You mean a patent violation.... copyright is for artistic works.... patents are for inventions...
you are right. guess I did not have enough coffee when I wrote that.@@shenanigansofmannanan
