Smooth Operators

It is already 20 years now since former German Harley dealer Werner Müller unveiled his first patented clutch assist device - the Power Clutch - and in that time the company he founded has sold over 100,000 of them , worldwide . Based near Ingolstadt in Bavaria , Germany , these

days the business is operated by Werner ' s son Fabian Müller , a well-known custom bike builder as well as parts and accessory designer . The original ' Bowden '

" up to 45 % less lever effort "

cable Power Clutch for mechanical clutch operation is still available , and the latest iteration is the Hydro Clutch - for Twin Cams and M-8 models with hydraulic clutches . Müller says that the maintenance-free Hydro Clutch is producing up to a 35 % reduction in lever effort of Twin Cams with the Harley hydraulic clutch and up to a staggering 45 % reduction in clutch lever effort on M-8 models - Softails and Touring . Now that Harley has dropped its hydraulic clutch ( just too many problems with its design ), both designs - Power Clutch and Hydro Clutch - are equally important opportunities for dealers and help turn every rider into a " Smooth Operator "! The Müller design produces " a clutch that still works - the plates separate perfectly . With some of the other designs we have tested , we have been seeing a loss of stroke when the plates don ' t operate smoothly ,

but with our designs , clutch operation is precise ." The invisible / hidden install is described as simple and intuitive . By improving the precision with which riders can control clutch operation , the Power Clutch and Hydro Clutch can improve the durability and service life of the clutch and the gears in the transmission . The improved sensitivity and feel therefore contribute to better handling and safety - especially in heavy traffic and urban / suburban riding conditions . Another Müller specialty is lowering kits . Werner Müller ' s first design was introduced some 30 years ago for EVO models and is still a strong seller . At the time it was said to have been the first ever heightadjustable lowering device for any Harley application , and was likely to have been the first adjustable lowering device for any motorcycle model . Following that , the version he designed for Twin Cams went a stage further and allowed the height to still be adjusted even once installed - which really brought motorcycle height adjustment into its ergonomic sweet spot . Marking another advance , for M-8 models , the Müller design is said to be the only lowering kit on the market with stepless height adjustment .
