GUIDE ‘Light Force’ Touring M-8 Clutch Slave Cylinder Noted variable pressure clutch specialist AIM Corp has addressed the issue of clutch lever effort associated with Harley’s Touring M-8 models. Widely regarded as a major fail on the new models, with disproportionate effort required and a lack of feedback from the stiff and hard to manage stock clutch lever, their new ‘Light Force’ clutch slave cylinder is an entirely new, ground-up design solution. This cylinder features a heavy-duty piston with a special lubricant coating, which AIM Corp reports as helping to achieve an astonishing 40% reduction in clutch lever effort. It addition it brings a closer clutch engagement point while widening the friction zone to the grip, allowing for an easier clutch modulation. This unit is a direct replacement for the factory clutch slave cylinder and no other modification is required. This kit is currently offered for 2017 and up touring models featuring the new M-8 engine with a hydraulic clutch. PARTS AND ACCESSORIES AIM CORP.
