I was just immobilized from my friend's birthday party on Friday night. I did manage to get my RJM clutch pedal installed, though.

And let me tell you, the rumors are true. This thing makes a world of difference. Right now I just have it set at the defaults given in the instructions, but I may play around and fine tune it a bit.

The install was a bitch, in my opinion. It only took a couple hours, but working under the dash sucks. It's cramped, you have to contort yourself over the seat/kick panel, and I cut my hand up pretty good. Looking back, I probably should have just taken the seat out.

good to know. Do you plan to change anything else related to the clutch system like the slave cylinder, clutch line, clutch itself?

I plan on doing a braided clutch line at some point, but the rest will be on an as needed basis.

Weather will be fine. Might get a sprinkle or two. If I were still riding on 2 wheels, i'd definitely go.
