Had one put in my Slim after a recent left hand injury. I didn't really think that they would work as advertised but boy was I ever wrong. This clutch has kept me riding and it works very well. Stop and go traffic is a breeze as well as stop lights and hills you just leave it in gear and use the throttle.

Considering one of these myself, like to hear some real world reviews.

I have heard that even with the trans in gear the bike might roll when parked on a steep enough hill.

Yes they will roll even when in gear. when you buy the clutch it comes with a strap that hold your front brake lever in when parked on a hill.
I have only used mine on a few occasions when I parked on steep inclines.
I can assure you the +'s out weigh the-'s

I'm curious to know if they'll handle 110+ rear wheel horsepower.

My bike is a 2017 Slim S with 110. Clutch works great.

That engine makes about 83 horsepower. I meant 110 horsepower not cubic inches, but thank you for the response. I may have to look into one of these clutches to keep from having put a gorilla clutch spring on it.

The folks at Rekluse have assured me they can handle my 114cu screaming eagle stage IV upgrades easily. My dyno #'s are 111.86 hp at the rear wheel.
