How much is your guy asking?

He was over $300, but I guess once I ship it to a cheaper place and back here it will cost me more than $300 anyway.

I didn't realize that you had installed the EFM. Looks like you're happy with it. You did have to add a spacer in the clutch cover? I want to order one. Any thing else I should know first?

I love it. It makes the clutch pull super light (if you need to use the clutch at all), and I think it's a must for riding in the trees or tight technical trails. I did have to add a spacer, but you can skip that if you just leave an extra 1/2" in your cover when you convert it to a two piece. I bought an already converted cover from Sandblaster before I decided to go with the EFM, and had my buddy make a spacer, but Sandblaster also sells just the rings. The guy at EFM is really nice, and got my clutch done really quickly. It's a little pricey, but unlike a Rekluse you don't have to eventually replace it. You just replace the clutch pack and your good.
All in all, I would say it's probably tied for my favorite modification with the suspension.

Ouch, I thought everything in the USA was cheaper than the UK other than PPV boxing, I have been quoted £95 GBP for a 250 frame to be done in Kiwi green which is around $122 USD and the reviews for them are all good!!

Man, that is cheap! I wish I could find someone that cheap here.
