I've been happy with the hydraulic clutch on my TLR for 10 years now..

What is it about it that you like so much? I'm not a wheelie guy...I know I know..blasphemy when owning a liter twin.

Same here, man. I had no problems with clutch engagement or what-have-you.
Same thing on my 1125R.

Disagree.
Best mod ever is swapping that stupid boat anchor of a rotary damper for a real shock.
Unfortunately, I never had the money to do Penske or Ohlins. I was going to pick up the Bitubo shock, but their dealer network sucked.

Good for you man. I'm really glad to hear it. Throw up a few pics of that monster.

I'm not much of a wheelie guy either... For me it was all about feel. With the hydro clutch there was no feel for the thing engaging which drove me nuts. With the cable clutch you can feel it engaging much much better...

No problems what-so-ever... For anyone with joint pain, I highly recommend TriFlex from GNC. It seriously improved my situation within a couple days of use and after a week or so I had little or no pain. I keep forgetting to take it, but things are still good. I am definitely going to be buying more of this shit.

I said "not much of a wheelie guy"... Honestly... Never really done a wheelie on the Tiller.

Not that I haven't considered it, but with the 60 or so miles I put on it yesterday (ONSSP went for her FIRST ride last night after my original post), I have probably 200 miles on this bike. The timing of my kneecap was impeccable.

Everyone should ride a TLR at one point in their life! Just my opinion though!
