alittle advice, try looking at the location of the current clutch cable on the front of bike. (behind front wheel attached to the frame.) Mine was bond alittle i simple just moved the clamp alittle so that the cable did not bind as much made alittle difference. |

Koz has two of them. Buell and Sportster. Praised them highly. |

Don't know about that one but on my XB have the Muller type from Trojan-horse. Brilliant bolt-on makes city riding so much easier! |

Get a racket ball and squeeze it in your left hand while you watch TV. Then the clutch will be easier to pull Popeye. |

I have one and it does not fit the XB's. It's a great idea and I'm sure it works on other applications, but it's too thick and rubs the diaphragm spring on the clutch. |

I installed one on my S2 and didn't like the way it forced the clutch cable over into the primary cover and immediately start wearing a groove in to the cover... Also the bend it forces the cable into makes it wear against the threaded steel end of the clutch cable housing where it is coming into the primary cover... I felt it would cause premature cable failure from these issues..... |

I had a problem trying to install also. Hits clutch, seller told me to"grind it down" was afraid of weak link in bike. |

I don't understand the need for a clutch mod. My XB9 clutch is pretty easy to pull, even with two fingers, and I'm only a skinny 130 pounder dripping wet with no formarm at all. And I live in a city where I have to use a clutch a lot. I also tried XB12 & I don't see much difference. Maybe it's the cable that's providing a lot of friction. Anyway, the mod in the evite is a bolt on - that means it can fall off into the tranny chamber. |

Have a 01 M2, the easy pull rubs on the inside of the case. Would take a lot of grinding to make it work on the M2. |

Thanks for all the feedback. I am going to pass on this mod.
