I just can't get over the gas tank! It looks like a baseball bat..
You need to see it for real, no baseball bat. Local dealer has a 05 non epa 124 for sale with 1100 miles, pipes and air cleaner mods. It will haul !!!

I have an '08 Texas Chopper.

For some reason the clutch was giving me tendinitis....even though it was hydraulic it was a bear to sit in traffic with.
The clutches in these bikes will make a man out of your right hand. I have a buddy who rides an '07 Heritage Softail, he can't pull my clutch in 10 times before wanting his bike back. :lol:

Bad thing is even with all the force to pull the clutch it still would slip.

And that was with a 111. I'd hate to see how bad the 124 would slip.

I haven't had an issues as of yet with mine. I believe AIH changed the clutch set-up over the years, somewhere around '07 I think to try and get less pressure at the bars. May have reduced the number of springs in there too.

I do know, I can't pull mine in with 1 or 2 fingers like on my buds Heritage...takes all 4 fingers.

Mine had a rivera pro diaphragm clutch in it.

I was told they put a lighter spring in it to help with the lever pressure....pressure would be insane with the correct spring in it.

maybe I should have you check mine out then for the "true" effect :lol: , she's a bear!

I've squeazed ALOT of clutches over the years, mine is by far the hardest I've ever pulled.

I always liked the distinctive look of the AIH bikes, especially the Texas Chopper, and AIH paint schemes were 'cutting edge' for their time.
Too bad they went under...:zzdisappointed:
