Grandeur Auto Clutch Harley xl sportster buell primary

HD rider's can no longer hold the clutch lever at a stoplight now? Why not get some training wheels too so they don't have to do all that work keeping the 900 lb beasts upright. Oh wait, that's what trikes are for

LOL definitely one of the coolest inventions ever.

My bike came with HD headbolt covers, derby cover and really weak HD chrome plastic horn. I'd love to put the Pegasus stuff on there but it's kinda rare and pricey. At least Pk's got the polished derby cover on his bike.

I'm the same way.. Would prefer the pegasus trim parts but they're hard to find and pricey when they do show up on ebay. I don't mind the hd trim but I think ill keep my 100% manual clutch

Sweet they are so badass and reliable that there is only 2! once the manufact is listed they will be a dime a dozen! or recalled! I thought being called a lady for using a muller power clutch was bad. Hold on to your wallet there is a real snake oil dealer in town!

it's a sportster base engine, weather anybody wants to admit it or not. I don't see a problem with hd derby cover.

Phil:
Have you thought about folks with small hands or perhaps someone with a disability? They might appreciate something to help them ride or continue to ride. I'm not there yet but as I get older I might have to "adjust" or modify the machine in order to keep riding. Of course I might not be able to afford $1900 when I'm on social security!

I bought one of these type of assist devices from Jireh Cycle for my 1990 Sportster since I was running the extra heavy SE clutch spring. Works well and the cost was less than a third the price. Might have been a knock off, but worked the same. Not sure about the 5 speed models price.

Safe ride,

Hey if you get stuck in traffic a lot (Sturgis, Daytona?) these might be the coolest thing ever. When I used to commute in a 5-speed car, and then changed to an automatic, I thought that was the best thing since sliced bread. Maybe bikes with auto-clutch wouldn't be so bad, depending.

If they can be proven to be reliable, and affordable; I thinks it's a great option for those who might not otherwise be able to ride do to age or disability.

My concern would be this: There are those to lazy, stupid, clumsy, or a combination to ride a bike. People who should not be riding. I wouldn't want some moron newbe to just hop on a big,fast, powerful, automatic bike, and go cause mass wreckage. - There are far to many, (Idiots, ect.), jumping on bikes now, making it easier is a bad idea. - But I'm someone that believes you should HAVE to learn how to drive a stick before you get a driver's license. And that some of those "Scooters" are getting awfully big.

I hear ya on a stick being a pain in the ass in traffic. The worst was a Chevy 6500 flatbed towtruck with a cable actuated clutch. Jeez, my left leg must've been sore everyday for a week when I first started driving that thing. My next cage will likely be an automatic, unless its something fun to drive.

how is this any worse than push button shifters.

hell in bad traffic that thing would be great.

I don't think i could see paying $1800 for it but I don't see anything wrong with some one owning one.
