Default Tick adjustable MC installed.

Hi all. So after several years of needing to bleed my clutch master every 500 miles to keep the engagement howling and shudder to a minimum, I popped for a Tick adjustable master cylinder. I installed it Sunday, and I have to say I wish I had done it 10 years ago. It is a superbly well engineered piece, and installing felt too easy. Since I bleed the clutch 4-5 times a year, that part was as easy as falling off a log. Operation is flawless thus far, I pitched the stock return spring, and I love the effect, it gives it a much better 'feel' to be working against hydraulic pressure only. I am still in the fine adjustment process getting the travel just where I want it, but it's close, and engagement of the monster level 3 clutch is now buttery smooth and absolutely silent!! $325 seemed like a lot to spend, but I feel it was worth every penny. If You're the least bit unhappy with Your current MC, I highly recommend this mod; one of the best I've done. Props to Tick on a GREAT product. I'll shut up now.
