So, I am about to replace my clutch slave cylinder again. Going to try the EBR part.

Question: since this looks like it might be a repeat operation, should I go to the later style clutch cover too. Al has them in stock and might just as well do it all at once.
Thanks,
Larry

you won't be repeating the clutch slave install using EBR updated parts.

is there some advantage to the new clutch cover?

Bob, that's what I am hoping to find out. I have both 08 and 09 service manuals, so could compare, but neither one is here. So, we are going by my memory which is a risky proposition at best.

If im not mistaken i think the newer ones holes for fluid to go through are slightly larger more fluid less friction less heat. But its such a negligible difference i dont think itd be worth the money

Only real advantage is to the newer cover.
The puck covering the clutch adjust is billet aluminum and actually provides some protection to the cover.

The RevA cover has a plastic puck.

I sent him a PM about it yesterday and he hasn't replied. Hopefully he will respond soon. I've been looking for one for some time and I don't need the entire $318 kit from American Sport Bike or the dealer.

Thank you all. I will keep the money (for now) and maybe spend it on something important. Like beer.
