Default Roland sands adjustable levers

I hope this is the correct area for this.
I am considering some roland sands adjustable levers for a 98 sporty.
I found an old thread where they talked briefly about them but there was no follow up and the thread was from 2012.
Does anyone have them installed? how do you like them?
I just cannot wrap my head around how they work, i.e... when the lever is closest position to the grip is the articulation enough to disengage the clutch the same when its at the full extended position? or does the articulation say the same no matter what position the lever is in?
Thanks in advance

The Adjustables change the "travel"...just like your thinking. There's more than enough.

Try this...Hold your clutch in, let out until it starts to "grab" (friction zone), now pull back just enough to eliminate the "grabbing" ...where's your lever in relation to your grip?

You probably have room to shorten the "travel"

Can't help with the testimonial though, but someone will

Adjustable levers are very common on sportbikes.

Nothing ground breaking about them.
