Clutch creep question

this is related to my chopper and not my street glide but wasn't sure where else to post it.

I'm not a mechanic and leave that up to people w/ more confidence in their wrenching.

I have an 05' Big Dog Ridgeback Chopper and when i hold in the clutch and put it in gear it seems to slightly creep on me. Not a strong roll but if i only have one foot on the ground it will roll forward. 2 ft down and i can easily keep it from creeping forward.

Any thoughts?

Clutch adjustment is really pretty simple if you are willing to learn; not much harder than changing your oil. It's a personal choice as to how much wrenching you want to do (some car owners change their own oil while others pay a quicklube place to do it for them).

I assumed that since you posted this question on the forum, you'd be interested in learning the answer. But then you stated that you'll just leave it for the shop to do. I'm confused.
