I'm going to be dumb here, TomL, but what does it do for me beyond the standard part?

I think it makes the pull easier, lighter.

I bought it to make the clutch lever pull lighter on my K1200S. This Oberon clutch slave cylinder will make the clutch lever pull lighter on a K1200-K1300 R-S-GT.

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

Having worked out with a Laverda cable clutch for many years, I think my clutch arm strength will be fine for a few years yet.
A Laverda clutch is equivalent to about 75% of a K brake - as in pull the K brake back to the bar. Seriously. :o

That's probably why I almost never sit stationary with the clutch pulled in. I've been Laverda-conditioned.  ::)

It was to make things easier after a layoff with a broken collarbone.

Tom, I'll buy it if you have it.
Its not always the destination that counts its the ride, having a destination just stops you going round in circles.
