to anyone concerned, i have now a little over 500 miles on my clutch now. refer to spec clutch install post. as i had said it was really stiff and grip hard. it has a much better feel now. it is a little easier on the leg now and is easier to engage. but don't let that fool ya, when you need it to, it'll still grips like a motha. but it is a lot more driveable now. if anyone was curious i hope this helps.
