NGC Alternates to a hand clutch

[Stephen]

I'm looking for an easy pull clutch or foot clutch or?????

A friend has ALS and can't pull his harley clutch.

He mentioned an EZ Pull which reduces pull by 40%.

Any help would be appreciated, he really wants to ride.

 A company called Jims sells a centrifugal clutch for Harley Davidson Big Twins .

My son has been bitchin about the clutch on his 1200 Harley being really hard to pull in, and he is not really a 97lb weakling. Might do some research on that. Thanks.

You could always go back to the mousetrap and rocker pedal set-up. And away you go.

I'm dealing with this issue for my wife riding a Convert.   I've loosened the clutch lever but her left hand is so weak even that is not comfortable.  Issue on the `77 Convert. is you have to squeeze the clutch lever to find neutral to start the motor, + hold the choke lever, + hit the starter button all at the same time.  Don't remember my `80 Convert. being like this.  Maybe I can bypass the neutral light requirement at a switch?

Disconnect the wires at the switch in the clutch cable and connect them together. Might need to do the same with sidestand switch circuit as well if that's still hooked up.

Choke lever should stay in the on position by itself, may not even be needed especially in AZ. Just give it two twists of the throttle instead.

Don't forget to hold the (foot) brake if you don't use the clutch. ;-)

Thanks, Charlie.   Seems both the sidestand and clutch switches are active and the choke used to hold but doesn't any more.  At 3,600' in the winter time in Az. it needs some choke when cold to start.    I intend to put my Tow-pac faux trike kit on this Convert. for the Mrs.

There are some excellent auto shifting bikes out there. At some point it isn't always about what you're riding, its that you are riding.

Yep the dealer near me has at least two '13 Mana GT holdovers with that someone could steal.  Automatic, side cases, and ABS...

A really good bike for all around and even touring? Why put a kludge on something else?
