We've talked about those big rollers several times, been nothing but problems for most who've tried and few it got costly when they screwed the pooch. I run a Kevlar 6 plate in mine just because I had it already, zero regrets, works and feels years ahead of the Factory setup. Literally, a two finger clutch level my old hands do like, wish I do the same to the RK, that hydraulic they have will work you.
