I've got an RPS and however good it is, it’s a frigging nightmare.

I’ve had nothing but problem after problem with it bending several clutch forks and just recently after I welded the dam thing so strong (the fork that is), its transferred the pressure force to the actual peddle and broken that too. Bearing in mind that I’ve got the clutch support bracket, the force has transferred to the rear of the peddle system and broken when it’s connected to some framework.

I've said it before, it’s a great clutch, but it’s far too heavy and due to this it continually bends just about any part of my clutch engagement system .:cry:

Sugar.... I have just ordered an RPS max street and flywheel and will have it fitted next week. Will keep you posted if there's an issue.
I did also buy a new clutch fork and boot.
Hopefully it's not 475lb/ft to engage and dis-engage.

Later,
Scott.

ive got rps paddle in mine, and although there very heavy, ive not had a problem with it bending anything as of yet, but there a booger in heavy traffic, does build the old calf muscles up though lol

if i were you i would go for an rps organic clutch, much more user friendly, will take a lot of torque still, and less strain on what should have been my quaiffe gearbox casing:lol: :lol:
