For your clutch you can install a stock 96" pressure plate in it. As long as you don't run it hard the clutch will not slip. But I would reinstall the 110" clutch back after your hand gets stronger. I did this for a girl after installing a S.E. stage II kit a few years back.

All good advice and thank you, I'll be putting more miles on and see if it gets better. Got a squeeze ball so this marshmellow can handle that clutch. Glad to hear it will get better with the more miles I put on, because I don't have a problem doing that! I love this site and appreciate all the advice and thank you ladies for posting some great pics 

Ride On!

Is the FLHXSE an Hydraulic Clutch? Would a VPC (Variable Pressure Clutch) work?

You look great on that bike! I noticed, do the gloves fit well? I like using the Helde Kangaroo skins. They fit the hand better and they're soft giving  more "feel".  It can make the clutch feel lighter. The heavier winter gloves doesn't do it for me. Too much bulk and tires out my hand. Just my preference.

Keep workin that ball during the rain...........and keep listenin to your husband.  He speaks from experience and wisdom.   When the rain rolls over the hill, you'll be ready to ride and master that clutch.

I have had a VPC on all my bikes for years now, Have one on my present SERG and it works to reduce the lever pull by about 1/3 of the stock Hydro clutch, A blessing for Arthritic hands.   Doc

works perfectly - and does more than just reducing the pull. You'll never again search for N and it makes both starting off and slow maneuvring much easier.

The clutch pressure plate will not loosen up over night......and if it did, then you'd have a slipping clutch problem.

It'll be a little easier for you in a week or two.....the strength in you left wrist/arm will get stronger.  You might want to get a foam ball to work with during the day, to improve your strength......that's what Terrie was doing.

Also you might try to adjust where the levers sit in relation to you. You may have more squeeze strength at a different angle. Oh, and NICE RIDE!!!! Have Phunn!
