Taking it easy with the Mueller ‘Hydro Clutch’ from Custom Chrome Europe The huge improvements in clutch operation seen in the past forty years still leave many models with heavier than necessary clutch lever pull. As the inches get bigger, and the horsepower increases, clutches have kept pace but haven’t really moved forward in terms of lever effort without intervention. Now though, German custom parts engineer Werner Mueller has brought his decades of experience to the problem with the launch of the Mueller ‘Hydro Clutch’. Based near Inglostadt in Bavaria, Mueller “has game” where clutch products and other innovative parts designs are concerned - the Mueller ‘Power Clutch’ was a major step forward at the time of its launch, but with a claimed 35% reduction in clutch lever effort on Twin Cams, and a massive 45% reduction on Milwaukee Eights, the ‘Hydro Clutch’ replaces the OEM part on 2016 FLSS, FLSTBS, and 2014 and up Touring models PARTS AND ACCESSORIES Fabian, son of Werner Mueller, introduced the prototype at CUSTOMBIKE 2018 with the hydraulic clutch, including M-8 Tourers. Maintenance free and with an easy, invisible installation, the ‘Hydro Clutch’ also delivers increased sensitivity and feel, and better controllability of the clutch operation.
