Interesting development. On some level, me thinks you wish you had a Gold Wing? :)

Had 2006 Goldwing Hannigan gave it up for a 2016 Tri Glide, have somewhat regretted it since, If you really want to know. But I had to much in my 2016 Tri and Honda would not give me anything for it. Now I am in the same boat with 2020 Tri. But the 2020 is so much better in power over the 2016. Definitely, my last bike! Ride it until the frame hits the ground!

I have heard that before, from several people. I have said that twice myself. :Dorag:
Here you can see the clutch cable on the 2021 baggers being off loaded

Lets see: the trans oil migration started when they went to the hydro clutch activation.
Lots of fix it ideas tried.
Bottom line let's go back to what worked for so so many years before.
GOOD IDEA

Another big plus is one can once again adjust and fine tune the clutch release point
I have never been a big fan of hydraulic clutches, if I cannot adjust it forget it
When GM moved to hydraulic clutches on the Camaro I had a customer constantly complaining about her clutch acting up and needing replacing. I fixed that and made the clutch release adjustable, problem solved
Cables have worked for years and if it ain't broke don't fix it. A Goldwing has a seal problem when the fluid magically disappears from the reservoir and migrates into the engine. Time to rebuild it and change the engine oil & filter. The colors of the bikes and trike are as bad as those being offered by Honda for the Goldwing, the gray looked like storm cloud gray but the dark red didn't look bad. In the video the turquoises and cream dresser popped out and caught my eye :).
