Hey Rowdy, Is it like a one finger pull easy? That is how my 2005 Ridgeback is for the most part. I can sit at a light with one finger in my clutch lever and not really get tired. It is pretty soft. I'll have to try and hit a dealer to check it out. I am going to do a bandit clutch kit soon anyway.

It's often called a "Clear Bra". I've used it on the nose of my Ferrari and Lamborghini and it works well. Find someone in your area that does cars and have them do the area you want to cover. I would not reccomend doing it yourself.
My experience is 3M is the best tape. The thinner, the less noticable. Comes in 1ml 3ml and 5ml. Regarding removing it, I have my entire nose covered and on the bottom where I bottom out and a hard bump the corners peel and it can lift the paint. However, if you want to pull it - using a heat gun and slow peel will remove it.
And I think invisgaurd sells a kit to aid in the removal.

I called my dealership a couple of days ago to check up on my Big Dog Easy Clutch I ordered. She said that Big Dog isnt exactly ready to start sending those out just yet, but will call me when they do. Anyone know whats going on with them? I surely dont want to put one on, if they are screwed up. I'm kinda wondering why they would put it on their website for sale, when its actually not ready to sell yet.

Is this price including install? Are the aftermarket clutches that you would use with a belt drive easier to pull or is it like a car clutch. More pressure harder on the body

Just let me know ... would be happy to earn the business from you. Again tomorrow I'll have more info for ya.
I know my local BDM dealer hasn't had any problem installing parts, but you never know how some of the guys will act. After all ... I started this business because I got tired of paying retail all the time!

the o6 clutch in my k-9 was so stiff that it was all most imposable to hold it in at a light. after the dealer worked on it numerous times, we finally got a new 08 clutch installed. it has been a great help. i'm just wondering if this is what they are calling the easy clutch. nothing more than the new clutch pack they are putting in the 08s. it made a BIG differance for me. no more hand cramps.

Just an update since I told you guys I would be checking ... but we're not getting any info from Big Dog right now on when they're going to have the clutch ready for shipping. Apparently there's a large demand as well and if it's handled like when they had the sissy bar problem, they will be out of them as soon as they have them available.
When I get an answer from BDM as a "guess-imate" on production, we could place orders to at least get in line.
Meanwhile if you can find a dealer who has them, I would consider paying the extra bucks just to get one if you're in a hurry.

I know when they ordered mine last week, the BDM computer said "contact your rep" but the system did take the order. I'll get some info soon.
Skully - FYI - my 06 was the same way. I kept saying it was the spring plate and they agreed to try a stock different one - solved the problem. I think there may have been some bad OEM spring plates for 06 that were punched improperly, resulting in too much tension.
