The stock clutch system on a Harley-Davidson is designed to accommodate a broad range of riders. However, it’s not tailored for individual preferences, which can hinder optimal control and comfort.
One major flaw of the stock cable clutch system is its plastic adjuster, prone to breaking and leaving riders stranded. Additionally, it lacks the ability for fine-tuning the clutch lever’s friction zone, which is critical for precise motorcycle control.
Upgrading to metal components and adding adjustability not only enhances durability but also allows you to customize the clutch system to your specific needs.

Start with the Fat Baggers Easy Clutch Adjuster The first step is replacing the stock plastic adjuster with the Fat Baggers Easy Clutch Adjuster. This metal piece allows for precise adjustments, enabling you to position the clutch lever’s friction zone exactly where you want it. Installation is straightforward and can be done in your garage with basic tools.

Upgrade to the Aluminum Clutch Cable Housing The next enhancement involves replacing the bottom plastic housing with a durable Fat Baggers aluminum one. This not only removes another weak plastic component but also improves the overall aesthetics and functionality of your clutch system.

Install the Upper Clutch Cable with Built-in Adjuster For ultimate convenience, consider installing the Fat Baggers Upper Clutch Cable with an integrated adjuster near the clutch lever. This allows you to make adjustments while seated on the bike, eliminating the need to dismount repeatedly. This cable is available in black or braided finishes for a custom look.

Enhance with PSR Adjustable Levers Finally, take your customization to the next level with PSR Adjustable Levers. These levers offer unparalleled adjustability and a sleek design, ensuring maximum comfort and control. With options for length, angle, and detailed customization, they’re a must-have addition.
