I got one.. i love it.. best investment I ever made.. the feel of the clutch is so smooth.. its nice if you ride alot of hours..

mine is worth every penny.. some might think other wise.. it really depends on how much you like the feel of the clutch..

I have a Magura "Jack" hydraulic clutch on mine and I love it. Has an extremely smooth and consistent pull that doesn't wear you out over time like some standard cable setups can. Even with my full Hinson clutch with HD springs, it is soo easy to pull in. I agree it is worth every penny...after you use one for a while, everything else feels sub par. You won't want to go back to a regular cable clutch again.

I paid around $190 for mine on ebay, but I have seen some real good deals on them since then, just need to keep your eyes open.

Here's what the kit looks like:

I have one as well, and like all the other posters said, great feel and ease of pull. I have one word of caution, when I combined mine with a GT Thunder 8 plate clutch kit and an HMF full exhaust I had some difficulties. Namely the 8 plate kit caused my clutch arm to be forward quite a bit. It was so forward that the provided mounting bracket from Magura did not work. I had to build a spacer (I have a machine shop at my disposal) to move the slave cylinder back about 5/8". By doing this, it causes the slave cylinder to get real close to the HMF header. I hope it will be OK, time will tell.

I will some day post pictures....

I say go for it... the hydro clutch is sweet.
