I love my NCR unit. 32mm add the radial master and you have some soft level pull action.

Just fitted an Oberon unit to my GT1000. Dead easy to fit, feels much lighter to operate.

I have gold Oberon on my SC, should be a pic in my gallery... +1 on quality and ease of install, makes clutch much more manageable.

I have a gold EVR unit on mine. So far 2000 miles and no problem, very reasonable as well. Anything is better that the stock unit, especially in the stop and go traffic in the city. Your left hand will thank you.

I just installed the Oberon cylinder on my Hyper this past weekend. I was surprised at just how easy the whole process was, installation and bleeding.

In my garage, the pull on the lever actually didn't feel that much lighter and I was almost disappointed

BUT, I did an 8+ hour riding day the next day and the difference was amazing! My left hand has taken a beating over the years with broken fingers and arthritis...At the end of the day I had no pain or fatigue at all. With the stock cylinder, I would have been in a lot of pain.

SO worth the money

I can second this, I had the exact same experience. You will really notice it once you are on the road, not so much in the garage.

SAME impression, maybe a little different in the driveway, WAY different when riding.

Well stated, it almost seems tighter/smoother if that makes sense. The original (at 12k miles) felt sloppy with too much slack until it engaged.

I went with black on my red GT, it blends in fine with the black sprocket cover.

Which Oberon

For the folks that have installed Oberon could you please specify if it was the 28 or 30 or other size.

Gracias
