Never heard of it, but if you go to a softer spring. The clutch will be like butter, ut then you might notget much of a feeling for it. I know on the older HD type clutches you can do it. I changed mine out to a heavy spring because the med was too soft for me. I like to feel the clutch

My 2005 pulls real soft. I can pull it in with one finger? Where does this easy pull get installed so I can look and see if mine had it from the factory? I was told after I bought my 2004 Ridge that the 05 bikes were going to come with a soft pull clutch, the dealer actually had 3-4 BDM packaged kits hanging on the wall of soft pull clutch kits. When I got my 2005 Ridge, it came with a soft pull and the dealer said that was weird because BDM said that they were not going to offer them and all the 2005 bikes that they had gotten in had a harder clutch pull to them.

We used one of these on my girls bike for when we're in traffic. I'm going to add one to my bike, I broke my left hand a few years back and get cramps if I'm in heavy traffic. Clutch hand cramps SUCK! It works great, should help with your hand.

I had a White Bros easy pull clutch in my 03 Mastiff. It worked great but there wasn't one made for the new RSD till now.
It's just a simple leverage device that goes in at the end of the clutch cable inside the tranny case on the LSD. It doesn't affect the clutch itself.
Here is a pic of the LSD version.
Don't know how the new version goes in the cover of the RSD as there is not much room in there not to mention that the balls and ramp have a cover on them. Will be interesting to see how it works.

I checked the Big Dog main website last night, and saw where they offer an easy clutch for the Big Dog motorcycles. It didnt have a picture of it or a price. This must be a new deal, because like I said earlier, I was looking for something to make the clutch easier because of my hand surgery. My hand is a lot stronger now, but like others have said, when you are riding in town, with a lot of traffic and stop lights, its a killer on the digits. Theres one intersection in the town I live in, thats by my house that is "very' uphill" and its a 4 way stop sign instead of traffic lights. when its around quitting time, I have 10 to 15 cars ahead of me, did I say "very uphill", and I am yanking my clutch (no puns please) back and forth and it kills me. This will be a "must buy" for me anyway, but I would like you guys to buy it first, and tell me if it works good!!!!! Be sure to check out the Big Dog website for other stuff they have now, which is about time. They have some clear stuff you can put on your gas tank and rear fender to keep scratches at bay. For guys with the passenger cushion, forgot what ya call it, this would be great. No scratches on the paint. They also have some of this clear stuff to put around your gas cap. What I want know, is , is it permanent, and if you decide to remove it, what kind of problems will that be? And, LDO, I'm not sure what "rep" means, but mine is ZERO, and I'm tired of that shit!!!! At least give me a "1".
Just gave you one. Don't know when you'll see it. I left you a comment along with it.
What ya' do to LDO? You should know by now that he is a force to be (reconned) with around here. (spell check needed):roll: :roll: :roll:
Rumor has it that bad things happen to you when you shit on someones plate while they're eating.

Don't feel bad, I have no "rep" either. Soon it will be an "in" thing to be "repless" and we'll be cool! :loony:

Had you posted this technical type thread in the ummmm....TECHNICAL section, rep points would have been flowin!!
Now, I've got to move this thing where it belongs!!
Instead, I gave you 'props' (rep points) on the ASS CHECK thread...:roll: :roll:

I was at the big dog dealership today and asked about the easy clutch. they had never heard of a big dog easy clutch, so they called big dog, and learned they did have one now. If fact, we both went outside and tried a new K-9 that had the easy clutch, and I swear guys, it was night and day compared to our clutches. I guess the easy clutch was so new, they didnt know they offered them. I just thought is was kinda weird that they didnt know the new ones had them, and they were parked in their parking lot. Anyway , I ordered one, and they were $220.00. this will be the best 200 dollars I've ever spent. You HAVE to go by your dealership and try it out.
