I think you're asking for trouble.  :cry:

I agree with WFO....they have no place on a moderate to high mileage daily driver. They don't have near the life of the OEM primary chain and a lot more trouble to keep adjusted and maintained.

The clutches can become noisy over time if you think that might be an issue then I'd steer clear, however they are much easier (time wise)to maintain in my opinion, and I bought the cheapest one I could find and modified it to fit my bike. In my experience with mine as long as you take your time and install correctly they seem to be lower maintenance to me.
The only stupid question is the one not asked!
