We frequently get questions via email, at events and in our shop in regards to clutch upgrades. Some motorcycles have a clutch lever that is tiring to pull in and gets especially difficult for riders that do most of their riding in city limits and get hand fatique from pulling the clutch in over and over. Some motorcyclists have hand or wrist issues that makes the constant pulling in of a clutch lever a challenge. One of the most common issue is that the factory clutch is worn out either from lots of mileage or more horsepower than the stock clutch can handle.
Cycle Solutions offers several clutch upgrades that will get you back on the street with more power to the ground! We partnered with Rekluse many years ago and have sold and installed their RadiusX (formerly EXP) and Torqdrive clutch kits in hundreds of motorcycles. Not familiar with these systems? You can find details, a video, and links below.
INTRODUCING THE NEW REKLUSE MANUAL SLAVE CYLINDER FOR M-EIGHT TOURING AND TRI-GLIDE MODELS
Rekluse is releasing this month a new product for 2017-Newer Hydraulic Milwaukee Eight Touring models and Tri-Glides. The Rekluse Manual Slave Cylinder reduces the clutch lever pull on Harley-Davidson® Milwaukee-Eight® models without compromising clutch performance. In other words, it reduces the length that you have to pull your clutch lever in before your clutch engages. This is a great upgrade for those who are not ready for a complete clutch upgrade. You can use thie Rekluse Manual Slave Cylinder for now and then when you have completed a high performance build and need a stronger clutch or you are ready to free up your clutch hand with the RadiusX clutch system you can. This product is even more maximized when used with a Rekluse Torqdrive clutch.
Product features:
- Reduced clutch lever pull strength for less hand fatigue
- Expanded friction zone for increased control and smoother take offs
- Precise design for lighter lever pull without compromising clutch function or shifting
- Compatible with OEM and aftermarket clutches, including Rekluse RADIUSX and TORQDRIVE

INTRODUCING THE REKLUSE TORQDRIVE CLUTCH AND THE CORE MANUAL TORQDRIVE CLUTCH FOR SPORTSTER MODELS
Also releasing this month are two great clutch upgrades for Sportster models. They fit all 1995-Newer Sportster models except XR1200. Both kits provide more disks in less space, adding up to 4 additional frictions disks to the clutch pack over the 8 stock disks. More frictions = more torque capacity thus unlocking the full power of your engine without the need to add stiffer pressure plate springs or a lock up device. Proven in racing at the highest levels, it’s not just good, it’s revolutionary. While both kits have additional friction plates, the Rekluse Core Manual Torqdrive kit has a Billet center hub and pressure plate that work together to move more oil through the clutch, reducing drag and decreasing operating temperatures.
Core Manual Torqdrive features:
- 4 additional friction plate
- 20% increase in torque capacity
- reduced wear and heat with increased power transfer capability
- 10% reduction in lever pull
- Includes Billet center hub and pressure plate to increase oil flow
Torqdrive features:
- 3 additional friction plates
- Increase in torque capacity
- Reduced wear and heat with increased power transfer capability
- Provides the rider superior connection to their motorcycle’s engine

RADIUSX AND TORQDRIVE CLUTCH KITS FOR ALL HARLEY MODELS
The RadiusX Clutch and the Torquedrive clutch for all Harley models has been around for many years now with great success. The RadiusX clutch is an automatic clutch that allows a rider to let out their clutch hand while the motorcycle is in gear when at a stop light or in stop and go traffic. The Torqdrive is a replacement clutch that is superior over stock clutches and designed for high horsepower builds. Watch the video below for more information on the RadiusX Clutch. Both clutches are available for most year and models of Harley Davidson motorcycles.
REKLUSE DERBY COVERS AND FACTORY FORMULATED PRIMARY OIL
Rekluse has a couple of derby covers available for all Harley Models. Not only are the derby covers good looking, they can also alert a mechanic that is familiar with Rekluse that the motorcycle may have an upgraded clutch kit or alert someone who has just purchased the motorcycle that a clutch upgrade may have been done . Why is this important? The Rekluse RadiusX clutch can function as a stock clutch but has some features that could be a safety issue if the rider is not aware the motorcycle has an automatic clutch, i.e. the motorcycle can roll while parked in gear. The RadiusX Clutch should not be put on a dyno for testing or tuning. Damage could occur to the clutch. Quality primary oil should be used with an upgraded clutch system such as Lucas Motorcycle Primary Chaincase oil or the Rekluse Factory Formulated Primary Oil that is designed for use with their clutch systems or other OEM kits.
All of these products are available for purchase on our website. We offer professional installation of the RadiusX or Torqdrive Clutch kits at an event or at one of our shop locations. Please contact us if you have any questions about any of these Rekluse Products or any other products. We are here to help!
