Anyone using one of these? Is there somewhere these can be purchased in the US? Carpel tunnel syndrome has been affecting me more lately and I need something to make the clutch action a little easier on me. http://www.britnett.net/trojan horse/listings/341.html |

We have sold quite a number of these now, and have had nobody tell us that they didn't find an immediate improvement in clutch action. |

Trojan; how much longer a clutch pull do you get with that ramp? |

So, the clutch pull is further but less firm? |

you know people keep telling me how stiff the pull is on their Buell. Its no heavier/stiffer then my ZX-6...or my classic honda... |

Thanks for the insight, Wyckedflesh. How many people have told you this? |

Quite a few of the rags complain about it when they 'test' Buells. But then, the majority of them never have anything at all nice to say about Buells, period. I've never felt that the clutch on either of my Buells was difficult, even in Michigan traffic jams. |

Its really not that difficult. I didn't have a problem with it last year. It just seems the carpel tunnel syndrome has gotten worse over the winter and after only 20 minutes of riding my wrist is quite sore. |

Signguy with the CT I can see it being a problem, I missed that in your first post my bad. But as Darth said and from quite a few people that walk up to my bike and check it out they all complain about the clutch pull. The only time I notice it is when I have been in stop and go traffic for a long time. Course one of the things that helped that go away was adjusting the position of the clutch perch so my hand is perfectly inline with my forearm at rest on the bars. Took a bit of trial and error to get it right but it does cut down on cramping. |

I'm planning on getting one of those as soon as some overtime comes my way, been a bit slow at work lately. A lot of the people over at one of the British buell sites have said good things about them. From what I can tell, the 12 clutches are a bit heavier than the 9s... I've gotten used to the heavier clutch pull on my 12 but for a bolt on that's supposed to make it easier, sign me up... Kevin |

Yeah, its a bit stiff. But for the first time since I was a teenager I can look forward to my left hand grip to being as strong as my right |

It almost never bothers me... only exception is when in a traffic jam... and doing the roll 2 feet stop... repeat a gazillion times. Then it gets a bit after SEVERAL minutes. |
