    Default easier clutch lever

    I am in no way connected to this company. I was looking for an easier way to pull the clutch on a hydraulic clutch tri-glide. I found the solution at www.softbrake.com. They sell products to make your ride fit you better. Their service is great, prices fair and made in Idaho. Check them out.

    FWIW I put the Oberon on, really like it, got the clutch so it starts to engage right off the handle bars.

    I tried Sofbrake's and the clutch lever didn't work with other than stock hand grips. Owner got irate because I didn't mention that I didn't have stock grips when I ordered. He finally agreed to issue a refund. The brake lever works great and I'm still using it.

    I have HD grips but not the stock ones.I asked about after market grips and they said that there was a very simple fix if the bike would not start in gear.They said to call back and they would walk me thru it.

    He is all over the board with his advice then. Totally opposite from what he told me. But I'm not surprised.

    I just received my Softbrake levers.... What is the difference between them and the stock ones????? When you sit them side by side, they are IDENTICAL?

    Did I just get Carny'd?

    You should be able to see that the softbrake levers are pulled back by 1". Stack the on top each other, you will see the difference.

    I did that...that is why I am asking the question. The picture below tells that story. The Stock Lever is on top. The picture shows a little difference on the ball end, but that is just the angle of the camera. They are identical...Stock FLRT and Softbrake. This is true for both Clutch and Brake Levers

    I am using the Softbrake clutch lever only and the side by side difference was very obvious. Seems you must have received a set that have not been reshaped. Send them the pic and I'm sure they will realize the mistake and make everything right.

    I like the soft brake (foot) ... makes using the rear brakes much more natural.

    Something is definitely wrong there. Mine were noticeably different when stacked. Give him a call, he will make it right. He is a good guy to work with.

    Your profile says you have a 2013 TG, That's not hydraulic, is it?

    Sent them the pictures and they said return the levers for a refund. Didn't disagree with what I was saying. I will just leave it there for us to ponder.....

    Hopefully they will take care of you. I firmly believe the best way to reduce the clutch pull is with the AIM cylinder, to fix the problem.

    I am sure they will. I have the AIM slave cylinder and it is going on the trike. So should be great....
