Does anyone have one of these installed on there bike and how is it working out for you?

I have one of these and was wanting some input on issues that people may or may not have had using this little mod.

I've never tried one because if you look at the physics of the whole deal, you're going to compromise somewhere in order to lessen lever pull.

The only way that ramp mechanism can make lever pull easier is by decreasing the clutch spring travel : lever travel ratio. So either your clutch isn't going to engage/disengage all the way (bad) or your lever will need to have extra space for travel (also bad IMO, but I have small hands)

If the lever pull ever bothers me enough to change something, I'll be going with a hydraulic clutch setup. Just my $0.02

It's simply designed and it works. I have it on my S3 and I'm glad I put it on. Why Buell and HD didn't go with a hydraulic clutch in the first place is a mystery to me, but this is the next best thing.

I have had one on my Firebolt for a few years. I really like it. I bought one of the "Clutch Lite" versions about 1/3 the cost and put on the S3T and could not get it adjusted so that it would completely release the clutch. I took it off and went back to stock. The Mueller just works better.

Bought what SVHD was selling, something similar to the Muller, if I ever get my bike put back together you can try it out.

I like it.

This did make my clutch throw go all the way to the end on the lever but i have long fingers and i had a bike just before this one that had a similar clutch feel so i am used to it. Mostly i hear of people doing this mod after installing the race clutch springs that are very stiff!

BUELLers:

Check out www.EasyPullClutch.com ...

Have one on my 97 S3T and one on my 00 P3 ...

Think they are cheaper than others and work the same way ...

Have you did the Clutch PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT, if you have a BUELL back further than 2001 ???

MAY THE LONG LASTING BUELL BE WITH YOU !!!

I will be doing the clutch upgrade this winter along with a tranny rebuild as the engagement dogs are starting ti slip. I will also be sending the tranny to zippers for back cutting of the gears. Then i will be installing the race clutch spring plate before putting it all back together.

I had the easy pull installed for a few years, the new clutch ramp is better.

Lower effort and better/easier adjustment.
