Anyone on the west coast with Sachs clutch?

i toasted my clutch at Laguna Seca (again) -- yes it was my fault, but a little margin of error would be nice.

Don't know if i can wait for the UUC solution (and would like to not be the first on the block to try it)

i need a streetable clutch

The UUC clutch is well worth the wait, it feels like OEM at the pedal but performs like a full race unit. This is shared from personal experience, see my earlier post.

As for the Sach's unit, the performance unit has a very heavy pedal so much so that I am replacing a brand new one with the UUC unit. For my money the Sach's unit is functional but not a driver friendly unit.
