i just had mine installed the other day after waiting the winter to do it, dealer was decent and did it in lieu of the warranty recall (they had no parts!) and man!!!!! when i first pulled i thought! WTH!! i was almost afraid to ride the darn thing thinkin it would not work. But i am diggin this, i have an issue with bursitis so taking the heat of those muscle groups was required and this will do it, shifts so nice, neutral so nice, i have no complaints so far. Dealer did mention the throw though (think thats what its called) less then the .86 or what ever it is, but they did all the tests they are supposed to do and it passed with flying colors, told me to keep an eye on it and if any issues they will put the OEM one back in with the recall done for just the labour, good dealership good system!

 

Illinois weather has prevented me from bleeding and riding hoping to get to it next couple days did you hear back from aim I may give them a call also

 

I didn't hear back from them and never bothered reaching out either. I decided to just go ahead and install the Oberon levers and be done with. The friction point is exactly where I want it now.

 

I have done 4 now.....my own has 3000 miles already and nothing changed. I will say first one took me 45 min to bleed( not new to bleeding brakes,clutches and other hydraulics). But make sure handle bars turned full right and don’t let the little white tab in master get uncovered with fluid....it will pull a touch of air and it’s back to square one. Be careful now this is dot 4 fluid and will eat paint. Clean up good when done. Spray glass cleaner is your friend around brake fluid. Than do your final wax/ polish later.
To be honest it’s been the best and most noticeable modification I have done to and m8 other than camshafts..... I also have never had to take care exhaust off...only loosen.

 

Dark Knight, just so I understand are you saying that the level of effort did not change, just the engagement Point went out further away from the grip?

 

3 thousand miles later the AIM is the best upgrade I have EVER made to ANY motorcycle

 

Yup, that's been exactly my experience. Lever effort was still significantly reduced but clutch engagement point went back to where it was before I put the AIM in.

 

Has the AIM Light Force units recently been redesigned to be an exact replacement, (the hyd line does not need to be altered)? Have been seeing 2 versions, the short and now the longer boss for the hyd line. Not sure if different models or redesigned.
Thanks

 

The AIM gen 2 has the longer boss. It supersedes the older model.

 

We finally had a break in weather today (YA!) so I was able to take mine out here in VT for 100 mile ride. I wonder if what people are noticing is that the engage is just off the bars, but extends pretty much to the end of the reach. It's definitely 40% less effort, but I think I can see how someone might think the action has moved, as it is using just about the whole lever action except for the very end. (if that makes any sense).

Don't get me wrong, not complaining, still by far the best mod ever!
