Anybody use one.  Looks like a simple mod. How effective is it ?

I'm guessing you're talking about this one.

I had one on my 250 for a while, but I had a hard time getting used to it.  It made the clutch engage really far out in the lever travel, and you could not adjust that as far as I knew.  I have a KTM 200 and a 105 with Magura clutches, and they both work that way as well.  I eventually took it off and went back to a cable clutch so I could adjust the release point.  I will say that it did make the clutch pull lighter if that's something you are looking for.

Are you still selling the longer arms Sandblaster?  If so, how much do they sell for?  Goliath could use an upgrade.
