Thanks, I've been meaning to ask if those things really work! It's absolute hell riding an ess in stop and go city traffic, I'll take that as a recommendation and give it a try.
The other thing about a /5-/7 clutch is to keep that operating mechanism well lubricated. Otherwise you could end up "speed shifting" your way home (interesting work at red lights) like I did last winter.

Kirk ,If you are refering to the 800 lb.clutch springs and the phlanges(sp?)
crushing force required to op the clutch, I installed a Easy Clutch
mechanisim from <A href=">Bench
Mark Werks</A> on my 75 R90S, and "voila" the miracle of all beemer clutch
modifications occurs right before your very eyes.The mechanisim is a marine
grade pulley attached to the clutch arm so that the clutch cable feeds around
the pulley and is fixed via a small alum bracket to the tranny case stud.
This arrangement cuts the lever force by 50 % . The drawback is the feel
we've all developed for clutch freeplay no longer applies and checking
free[play has to be relearned. other benefits should be less stretching of
the cable giving longer life and a quicker shift sequence rippin thru em
(which I really enjoy now) Lotsa fun shifting now.
