My wife complains about the clutch effort on her 2011 CVO Street glide. Before you "guys" start giving her a hard time about hand strength, I think her real problem is her fingers aren't long enough to grab the clutch because it disengages at the top of travel (this is her fourth Harley and she can out ride most guys).   Her problem is mainly in traffic where she has to ride the clutch at the top of travel and her fingers are straight out and its hard to modulate the clutch there.  She would be happy if I could move the clutch actuation point down 1/2 inch where her fingers would be bent a little more.  The dealer says there is no such adjustment (they have been of no help, suprised?).  Any ideas?  Lower actuation point 1/2 inch, reduce over all effort?

The dealer is right.  There is no adjustment for the hydro clutch. If the cable clutch worked fine for her on previous bikes then you could remove the hydro clutch and replace it with the cable system.

Check out Variable Pressure Clutch at Tak's Performance Parts.  You will need the VP70T.  It remove's 40% of the pressure from the stock clutch and therefore changes the point of engagement.  With this installed she will only have to pull the clutch 1/4 of the way and She can do it with one finger.
