Cross post with AF1 Forum:

Install was much easier than I thought. I snapped a few pictures during the install. I put the bike up on some pieces of wood to increase the kick stand lean .. not a drop of oil dripped out when I removed the cover.

Clutch effort is definitely decreased and is now equivalent in feel to my Sportster and Monster. I would say that Shorty Levers may even be OK to use now.

The hardest part of install was getting the original piston cylinder out of the cover. It was jammed in there good. The replacement cylinder went in pretty easy. The retaining ring was a pain too .. make sure you have a nice heavy duty retaining Ring tool since its pretty beefy.

I didn't take any pics of the piston assembly ... just a bunch of O-rings to put on .. In the Springs Pic ... Green are the new springs. Yellow are factory.

With the new easy pull clutch kit installed does it now go into first gear without the loud clunk like it did when stock or does it still clunk?

Mine didn't clunk before or after install.

Ordered my kit the other day, how much of a pain is it to remove the piston, did you use a press or knock it out some how.

After removing the snap ring .. I placed the cover on a piece of carpet and the use a large socket and rubber mallet to knock it out. The new one popped into place by hand. Make sure you align the tab when installing.

FYI .. the aluminum piston comes out easy .. watch out it is spring loaded. Its the stainless cylinder thats pressed into the cover. You can use the O-rings on the original as a reference of how to place the new ones.
