fitted one. Can't compare to other brands, but definitely better than stock! You'll need an rsv / tuono sprocket cover though...

Mine had one fitted when I got the bike, no problems works fine, and coming from a cable clutch, I'm loving it.

This is the MotoPikey one isn't it?

I was a beta tester for these
I preferred it to the MPL I was running
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

first off - the choice of colours
secondly, motopike offer a service facility that is uk based
third, the anodising was top quality
just better overall.... but not much in it!

Buy a Tuono sprocket cover - they are the same as the Mille ones but cheaper.

Woo, finally got a clutch slave in titanium.
Where can i get a suitable cleed nipple for the top of the clutch? I seem to remember having no-end of problems using only the bottom bleeder.
Thanks,
Dale
