Great video with good information. Only thing I'd change is the camera angle. I may be the only one, but I had a bit of anxiety not being able to see down the road. 🤣
So to be clear, the only advantage is that you can come to a complete stop with out pulling in the clutch, and then can start back up without using the lever, but you must shift the rest of the gears manually ?
Hello, and thank you for this review and visual example... I would appreciate any ideas you might have. June 2121, I suffered a massive stroke that left me laid up paralyzed in the hospital for a year. I HAVE BEEN RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL AND CAN WALK AGAIN... MUCH HARDER TO LEARN THAN I REMEMBER THE 1ST TIME. MY LEFT ARM AND HAND ARE VERY SLOWLY COMING BACK AND IF I CANT GET OUT FOR A RIDE SOON I AM GOING TO GO COMPLETELY BAT SHIT... LUCKILY MY 1949 PAN HAS A FOOT CLUTCH AND JOCKEY SHIFT. I AM NEARING THE POINT WHERE I am willing to give it a shot... for months have been questioning my ability to ever ride properly again, have considered trikes, but the stroke left me 7nable to work and those things do not come cheap... have an old Yamaha sidecar rig I am trying to go through and get back on road. My balance has improved enough and I have regained intentional use of leg so holding the bike up is no longer a primary concern. Anyway, in advance thank you so much for any brainstorm ideas you might have. Much appreciated, Much respect Matthew "ArtBiker Linton Original Founder and President, Sovereign Souls MC, Texas
I know that it's been done, that would be my ultimate encouragement. There are several products that you maybe interested in. We were in the process of fitting a trike up for a guy who had no left arm. Auto clutch, easy pull clutch, quickshifters are probably where you want to start. Even learning how to power shift properly can help. I would say it mostly depends on how much you can use the left hand. Good luck on your journey back to two wheels! Keep us posted.
@@hotel-delta I thank you so very much for that! People have come back from worse, with less. I appreciate your words and helpful ideas. I, too, began looking into trikes, unfortunately they are outside my means. I will cartainly consider the possibility of combining a centrifugal style clutch with an easy pull set up as that seems logical and within reason, and ,correct me if I am wrong, but it seems I will still needd to use the hand clutch to downshif... is that correct? I had looked into paddle shifters as well, however they were a bit less affordable than I had guessed. Was also looking to relocate the clutch to a second right hand lever again, I thank you so much not only for the fantastic resource and review you have made available but for then going above and beyond with an individualized response addressing my specific situation. I am looking forward to your future posts as I am confident I will find valuable information and ideas in your posts.

I'll do a little more research on the subject and if something comes through the door I'll definitely share. I know of several riders who use the rekluse auto clutch and many have said they power shift with it constantly with out pulling the clutch however the manufacturer doesn't recommend it. I'm sure each individual along with motor/trans/clutch combinations are all a little different. Even Harley came out with a quickshifter for the Pan America this year that auto blips and revmatches for up shifts and downshifts without a clutch pull.
Sorry, thought this was in response to a different video. Per the manufacturer instructions, you do pull the clutch for shifting. When coming to a stop it's just first nature. Takes getting use to for sure.
So will the bike stall out if you don’t use the clips and just shift with your foot I’m confused because I’ve seen different information. This looks like it would be very useful and City riding and Houston.
It won't stall, and I know plenty of people who ride one that say it does allow for easier power shifts. The manufacturer states you ride the bike as normal except for stopping and taking off out of first...
I would say that's a little situational. If you were downshifting hard to engine brake, I would grab some clutch. They use a blanket statement about using clutch normally except for starting and stopping from and to first
I lost two fingers. Trying to find something I can install to where I can ride again. I was told about this but seems you still have to shift. Any recommendations?
I need SOMETHING!! I just purchased a Street Glide and the clutch friction zone is too far out. It’s where the grip is the weakest. Very annoying and potentially dangerous.
I feel like you've answered this question in the video but I didn't fully follow. Can this Rekluse Auto Clutch be used in conjunction with the Rekluse slave cylinder?
I have arthritis in my left thumb making it difficult to use the clutch quite often on my roadglide special Think this clutch will work good for me, I am wondering also what kind of part can I buy to make the shifting easier? I ride a 2022
It would definitely help in traffic situations, starting and stopping is greatly simplified. Look more into that slave cylinder, it should greatly reduce the pull strength required.
this is only good on harley with hydraulic clutch? not my chopped xs650 with a tough aweful clutch i have harley inch bars and switches on it so can put a harley master on and a slave But would your unit work? alan from Australia
If hard engine braking I would definitely Rev match or give a little blip. In the lower RPM range with a controlled clutch release you shouldn't have any issues
@@hotel-delta I just ordered a 22 Freewheeler because 2yrs ago I had a Road King and was hit by a pickup truck and screwed my entire left side up, I want to ride SOOO bad but I tried another road king and nope, wasn't comfortable enough so a Freewheeler or walk is my options. Thank you for your reply
@@hotel-delta thank you and ya, when people in my life heard they were like "you were almost killed on a bike" I'm like, ya I know, I was there.. 🤣 it's my money and I absolutely miss being in the wind.. people that have car wrecks don't avoid driving cars again so why should I avoid another bike right.. but anywho, thank you for the info I appreciate it
I would like to know what clutch and brake levers that are on this bike. They seem to have a very short throw. I installed a Rekluse clutch in my 2017 Tri Glide. It is a breat product. Thank you.
Great video with good information. Only thing I'd change is the camera angle. I may be the only one, but I had a bit of anxiety not being able to see down the road. 🤣
If you are struggling with strength in your clutch hand, this could be the remedy you've been searching for. Ride safe!
So to be clear, the only advantage is that you can come to a complete stop with out pulling in the clutch, and then can start back up without using the lever, but you must shift the rest of the gears manually ?
Yes, per the manufacturer. People that run it, will say differently.
@@hotel-delta thats wrong, its called AUTOMATIC! you only need kick in first Gear!
That's not what the manufacturer states, I had a lengthy discussion with them.

not sure why you keep pulling in the clutch? The whole idea is you dont need the clutch
Sorry, thought this was in response to a different video. Per the manufacturer instructions, you do pull the clutch for shifting. When coming to a stop it's just first nature. Takes getting use to for sure.
If you watch video on rekluse page. They don’t use clutch when shifting gears.
I spoke directly to a tech at Rekluse and he stated to use the clutch as normal except for starts and stops. I explain that in the video.
So will the bike stall out if you don’t use the clips and just shift with your foot I’m confused because I’ve seen different information. This looks like it would be very useful and City riding and Houston.
It won't stall, and I know plenty of people who ride one that say it does allow for easier power shifts. The manufacturer states you ride the bike as normal except for stopping and taking off out of first...
Do you do the install of these Rekluse Clutches I’ve got a 2016 Softail Heritage and live in Corpus Christi
Absolutely
where’s your shop at in New Braunfels
1288 Loop 337
If you are in six gear and you want to downshift to five and downshift to four anything special you need to do
I would say that's a little situational. If you were downshifting hard to engine brake, I would grab some clutch. They use a blanket statement about using clutch normally except for starting and stopping from and to first
I have a Rekluse Clutch, 2017 Harley Iron 883. I have some questions and need some help. How could I talk to someone? Please and thank you.
I would contact Rekluse directly. They were very helpful when I reached out to them
I lost two fingers. Trying to find something I can install to where I can ride again. I was told about this but seems you still have to shift. Any recommendations?
You probably won't find one simple solution, but if you combine a couple of these products you can keep on rolling
I wanna buy one
Do it, it's an awesome product
I need SOMETHING!! I just purchased a Street Glide and the clutch friction zone is too far out. It’s where the grip is the weakest. Very annoying and potentially dangerous.
There's a couple ways to adjust that with the bike before you spend a bunch of money on a whole new clutch system...
Great content & information. Where is shop out of, I’m nearby out of San Antonio Texas
Thanks

I feel like you've answered this question in the video but I didn't fully follow. Can this Rekluse Auto Clutch be used in conjunction with the Rekluse slave cylinder?
Yessir!
I have a Rekluse clutch on my 2020 Harley-Davidson TRI GLIDE Ultra and I love it!
Does it affect the engine braking?
No it doesn't affect engine braking.
Do you need to rev match or you can just pull the Clutchin downshift and release
I have arthritis in my left thumb making it difficult to use the clutch quite often on my roadglide special Think this clutch will work good for me, I am wondering also what kind of part can I buy to make the shifting easier? I ride a 2022
It would definitely help in traffic situations, starting and stopping is greatly simplified. Look more into that slave cylinder, it should greatly reduce the pull strength required.
@@hotel-delta Thank you sir great day to you
Same to you, good luck and keep on riding!
this is only good on harley with hydraulic clutch? not my chopped xs650 with a tough aweful clutch i have harley inch bars and switches on it so can put a harley master on and a slave But would your unit work? alan from Australia
Reach out to Rekluse and ask them for a recommendation
Question, if slowing down, do you still Blip then downshift or just downshift? I was watching you closely to see the rev matching but I didn't see it
If hard engine braking I would definitely Rev match or give a little blip. In the lower RPM range with a controlled clutch release you shouldn't have any issues
@@hotel-delta I just ordered a 22 Freewheeler because 2yrs ago I had a Road King and was hit by a pickup truck and screwed my entire left side up, I want to ride SOOO bad but I tried another road king and nope, wasn't comfortable enough so a Freewheeler or walk is my options. Thank you for your reply
Glad you are getting back out there, I know that's not the easiest thing to do, but there's only one way to scratch that itch. Ride safe my friend!
@@hotel-delta thank you and ya, when people in my life heard they were like "you were almost killed on a bike" I'm like, ya I know, I was there.. 🤣 it's my money and I absolutely miss being in the wind.. people that have car wrecks don't avoid driving cars again so why should I avoid another bike right.. but anywho, thank you for the info I appreciate it
Do you know if harley installs this clutch at all I don't trust myself lol
Great video 😎
I would like to know what clutch and brake levers that are on this bike. They seem to have a very short throw. I installed a Rekluse clutch in my 2017 Tri Glide. It is a breat product. Thank you.
That bike sold a while back, if it comes back in I'll check it out and let you know.
@@hotel-delta Thank you
Will the engine hold you back in lower gears?
Not sure what you mean by hold you back...
How does it work on a hill at full stop?
It doesn't hold the bike in place, and engagement really depends on how hard you roll on the throttle.
Can you leave it in 2 or 3 gear the whole time
No, Definitely wouldn't recommend that. Shift as normal. Don't want to burn it up.
How does it work with slow manoeuvre especially u turns?
Instead of feathering the clutch you can just give it a little throttle. You can feather clutch too. It's just a different feel.
So, you have to pull clutch to shift?
That's what the manufacturer suggests
How about engine braking??
Works normal until you get down around 1500rpms
