Has anyone installed the clutch actuator kit? PART NUMBER X3086.1B7 In particular was it easy, or challenging? Was it worth the time and money? Any adverse results?

I asked my dealer if they've installed this kit on anyone's bike yet and they haven't. They estimated between 1 and 2 hours for them to install everything. I'm assuming the parts will be stock on the 2015 EBR's, so I think I'm going to wait until I can feel the clutch on a new model before I decide to install it on my 2014.
Its so funny that so much of the feel of the Buell/ EBR controls seems to be hearken back to the " let's use them as entry drug to HD" days. Anyone who has ridden any HD's much, particularly the 80's 90's circa bikes, wouldn't even notice the clutch pull on the EBR and consider the feel of brakes with their lack of initial bite to be just right.
I installed the kit in my RX and it took about an hour and 20 minutes. The pull was reduced from approximately 35lbs to 25 lbs. Still way more than my XB, Dyna or RS1200. If you get stuck in traffic you will appreciate it. We are installing the kits in the bikes we have on the floor at MCC in Villa Park,Il.
With the bike on the side stand you won't need to drain the oil, you will have a little dribble out when you remove the cover, but not much. If you use a bench or rear stand then you will need to drain the oil.
Was a nice day in Georgia .. and took my Ducati Monster for a ride for the first time in a while. The clutch pull is so nice and light .. that I just had to order the EBR clutch actuator kit and see if I can get the RX close to my Monster EVO .. AF1 has it in stock.
