Street-Twin without the Adjustable MAster Cylinder..

I am fixing to get a Street Twin, the only problem is it does not come with a adjustable master cylinder. I was wondering if i will be ok with the stocker.
Thanks
Marcin

Most are ok with the stock master. Some aren't and there's no way to tell ahead of time.

Don't do it!! You won't be able to disengage the clutch without it. Trust me, I've talked to McLeod tech myself, and they said its highly recommended for their single disc setup and a must for the street twin. I'm even having problems with my single disc setup and stock hydraulics. What will happen is your clutch will disengage a little, but not fully, causing it to be slipping instead of disengaging. I just pulled my single disc setup out of the car after about 800 miles and it looks like it has thousands of miles of wear from the slipping.

thanks

Not sure about the "old" ones and "new" ones, but you can get McLeod's phone # on their website. I think its http://www.mcleodind.com. If you call them, they are really helpful. When I talked to tech, they said the best prices are usually from Thunder Racing, since they order a lot of parts. I've dealt with Thunder many times, and they are awesome. I've heard quite a few negative things about RaceNet before, so I would stay away from them, even if they have a little cheaper price.

Thunder Racing is great and I would pay a little more to get it from them over a bad vendor. However, I got my ST thru a GP from Combination Motorsports in June at a great price. The only problem - not their fault - is that the flywheel got backordered.

At least with my installation the clutch pedal has an awful lot of pushback to it... I've only driven one stick LT1 (my own) for more than a couple minutes, but the Street Twin does have a good deal more pedal tension than, say, a SPEC Stage III. I would guess that means it's harder on the hydraulics.
