Unhappy $300 and didn't make any difference

I had the local dealer install the Burly Easy Boy Lite clutch kit, plus a 5 point adjustable clutch lever. Got it back last night and checked it out. No difference in the amount of pull needed. Disappointed for sure Wonder why so many replied to my original post saying the install was a great addition ? I was looking forward to our up coming riding season, now not so enthused

Maybe it has something to do with the new clutch lever. What brand is it? It may have less leverage than the stock one.
Just a thought, because when I installed the Oberon lever there was a quite a bit less effort just from the new lever.

Burly states this set up decreases lever effort by 40%. I can believe it.

So I was researching this part further for a future project (when bike is apart)

The little plastic piece you put in by the clutch lever......my fear is this will crack over time through torque cycles (pulling/releasing lever), freeze/thaw cycles (winter/summer in many states) leaving one screwed. I am wondering why this isn't made of a steel/aluminum type of material for more longevity.

Can anyone comment on that? or suggest a better, more improved part? (even if its higher cost) Talking 2008-13 touring here. Thanks.
