Anyone else use the Burly "Lite Clutch"?
I have the stage 2 clutch spring on my SG and it was always a problem for me in traffic or any place I was always having to hold the clutch in a lot.
I like not worrying about it slipping as I slowly bump the power up, but that clutch handle has been a bear to hold.
Anyway, I got tired of the constant hand cramps, so I got the "Lite Clutch" assist by Burly Brand.

It's basically just a way to extend the length of the clutch arm, thus using the simple laws of physics regarding a longer lever-arm being easier to "lift" or pull the same amount of weight.
Makes the clutch almost feel stock, or at least a LOT easier to hold in and let slide out as I take off.
Before, my wife was afraid to ride my bike just because she could barely hold the clutch in. Now she's ok with it.
My only concern was/is that the direction the arm extension is being pulled, it almost seems like if the nut came loose, it would pop right out of the "hook" of the stock arm where the cable attached.
But I made sure to use locktite and torqued it down nice and tight.
I've had it about 3 months now and no problems at all! Loving it.
Just wondering who else has this and how they like it.
