They're popular with street riders who ride on the street like it's Road Atlanta.

The new CB clutch is actually the "slip and grip" type as discussed later in the video. So the main advantage is that it gives a more positive clutch engagement along with a lighter lever pull. The clutch plate clamping force increases as power is increased, so lighter clutch springs can be used.

Thanks for the video. Best explanation I've seen yet.

I'm half tempted to buy these parts and try it. I am a mechanical junkie and love wrenching on new untried projects.
I have zero need for the function- even though I have locked up a rear tire on a downshift before in my many decades of bike riding - dirt and street.
Anybody else curious and want to chip in a couple bucks to see what happens? I'll make a youtube video if we get enough interest.
