Midwest clutch lever

Can't quite work out how an old duffer  (or so I keep hearing )  with a knackered left arm can use an antiquated cable clutch on an equally antiquated Honda without any problem - yet there are people with hydraulic clutches needing help?

All i really want to know is if that makes me a well 'ard hero or Muffy a limp wristed poof??

The latter was always the case Gary, but having ridden Owens bike that was forged from pig iron in cyfarthfa ironworks the former is also true too

Cheers chaps 
Just glad it's the Muffer and not me! 

Definitely the latter !!

Ive heard good things about these lever Muffy......dont listen to them.

If you have to pull it back to the bars it not a one finger clutch Rob i guess something must need adjusting ? i bought fancy levers before & found em worse, i just move the standard ones in & cut a v in clutch handle bar grip now.

Did you try setting the clutch basket to its x softer setting?

Will that make the clutch feel softer ? or just make the clutch slip ?

Apparently with these you are supposed to set the clutch to disengage just off the bar . It doesnt mean you have to pull it right in to engage , but if you dont set it up like that you might get clutch slip with the lever fully out , and it means the reach is quite small , which is what the aim is , ie you arent having to stretch out to start pulling . Anyway , it was mrs Muff that insisted I buy it , cos she was sick of me complaining my fingers were aching every Valentines day
