Ok thank you, can you tell me the other options? The roads over here are narrow and require a lot of clutch play, plus sitting in slow traffic etc I’ve had my K9 for 6 years and really would like the clutch lever to be easier to use as I plan to keep my Big Dog forever and do lots more riding, had a Harley for 10 years but I love my K9 and S&S
Thank you Mick. Can you send me a link to them for me please, much appreciated

Yes, Mick is correct. The EZ pull ball and ramp will make a difference. I had it done to my bike after feeling the clutch on newer bikes when the EZ pull came standard. Night and day difference. You have to be a little more precise with the clutch rod adjustment because the ramp is longer, but you will figure it out. Also, make sure you give the clutch cable a good lube job every year.
Yes lubing the clutch cable regularly is something lots of people neglect to do. Very easy and I recommend Dri-Slide cable lube. Works very well.

Expensive but it will fix your issue with hard pull. I don't know anyone who has this clutch but it sure seems great!
I’ve decided to go for the Barnes ball pull kit, they don’t have options for shipping to the UK at the checkout, so have emailed them, hopefully will get it shipped over and fitted, in the meantime I’ll make do with the CanDo 
thanks again for all the help

Thank you Mick I’ve not heard back from Barnes yet but Matt Graham at Baker has replied saying they have a 9 plate ball ramp, is this the same or as good as the Barnes one?

I’ve ordered the Baker ball and ramp kit, due to be delivered to me on the 22nd. I changed the clutch cable and made my own Actuator gasket last year so I’m familiar with all that area, but will be back on here to ask for help if I need it and let you know progress, thank you Mick your a diamond

Thought I’d upload a pic of me riding last summer on my way into a bike rally. Notice the swollen, sore left hand
