    Hi All. I have a 2015 Streetbob. I had Kuryakyn ISO grips installed a few years back - great feel. I then recently took the plunge and ordered some RSD adjustable grips through my local HD dealer (recommended) and had them fitted. I've found the same thing as been commented on back in 2014 on a similar topic...- that the clutch can no longer be disengaged fully - The Local shop is now saying that I have to change my ISO grips back to near stock to allow the RSDs enough space to disengage the clutch ...I certainly don't want to change back to stock handles and it seems it must be the RSD adjustables that are the issue - any recommendations?

    I run the Oberon clutch Lever and have a modified clutch, and had a few issues getting neutral (before changing the lever).
    I also run the ISO grips, and wouldn't want to go back to stock.
    I never had a problem with actual clutch drag.


    The clutch adjustment on these bikes can be tricky,( both push-rod and cable).
    You need to find a good independent mechanic, and have them adjust the clutch .
    I have mine adjusted spot on, just takes some time to get right.
    I use a dial indicator on the clutch pack cover to help.
    You need around .060 to .070" of travel.
    Be aware, you do need to have the lever adjustment set far enough out to get enough travel as well.
    You cant actually run them close to the bars if you have small hands

    Speedzter,   Thanks very much for the advice. With your comments and a bit more research, I'm going to revert to some HD edge cut levers.    With appreciation. P2
