To fit is pretty good.   Just cutting the line and then its easier than a normal clutch cable because the end is a better shape.  

It's just a bit odd ball in feel with the reduced throw, and not spectacular looking. Just one more thing to leak.  

After trying the hydraulic, I'd go a mechanical first if I wanted a softer clutch.


can you have both???


You can but it is not recommended.  Both reduce clutch throw so nothing for nothing.  I know some one who has done it, they say it just works.

If you have a wrist injury or you use a high performance clutch spring it could be good.  

The clutch on the post '06 Buells is pretty light, but if the clutch is softer you break fewer cables, so I tried the hydraulic because my last three bikes have had hydraulic clutches and I figured  the hydraulics are less likely to strand you than a cable.


After the weekend I'm going to start looking for a hydraulic belt.

Two Pete's, two belts one ride.

Coming back from the BRCA AGM.  Stopped at Yarra Junction.  Talked about riding with broken cables, how Hippie Pete broke a belt while his clutch was playing up and took a few minutes to pin the lack of drive down to the belt.  We took off again, except I didn't.  I rang RACV (Total Cover & Extra cover is good for any bike you are riding), the others came back.  I pss'd then off no use waiting while the tow was coming.  5 minutes later get a call.  Hippie says "can I come too"

We had a belt raising party last night.  Wouldn't read about it - 'cept you just did.

On ya! I can't see what all the fuss is about ... there is nothing wrong with the Bolts  standard clutch as far as I am concerned and if I can do 1000s of kms in 2 weeks with no complaints (eh AJ????????) then I am sure any bloke should have no issues .  charge
