2003 Valkyrie Standard Clutch Issue

[carolinarider09]

I have an issue with the "clutch" on my 2003 Valkyrie Standard a threee or four months ago.  I rebuilt the Master Cylinder and verified it did work just by using the clutch in the garage and verify it allowed me to shift as I moved the bike. 

I have not had the chance to ride the bike until today.  However, I thought that, every time I was in the garage and had access to the bike, I did check the clutch lever for "firmness". 

Well today was to be a "test ride" for the entire bike.  I park my bikes in neutral so, I rolled the Valk out of the garage and then pressed the clutch lever and there was no "effort" required. 

So, I suspect I need to rebuild the clutch slave cylinder.   But, I'd rather just replace the whole unit. 

Here is a link to the part I think is correct.  I just want some to verify it's the correct part.

FWIW, I never park in neutral when not running. If I or someone should bump it in a motion that moves it forward, over it goes. Many bikes won't move that easy, many do depending partly on how far over it leans when parked. The more vertical the bike is on the side stand, the easier to knock it over. In years past I've been the guilty party and caused that current ride to move slightly and over it went. Just my opinion based on experience, others may(and will) differ.

Probably just needs to properly bled
