Anybody have any experience? I've seen a couple of references to them in various places. Haven't been able to find a vendor for them though. Any ideas? My cheesy plastic 4 flute spiral actuator is pretty cracked up and sucks donkey to pull

Purple Haze has them listed in their parts, you might want to give Laurie a call.

I just checked some of the usual suppliers - no sytec but Larry at Redline sells the adapter plate if you get a ball bearing one and need to space it out. I made mine and I know others that go ball bearing without the newer seal just use gaskets or washers.

My old plastic one was fubared too but I have an unusually strong left hand ( :mrgreen: )

There's one on eBay right now but it looks wrong and nut much of a description - not sure the type.

I like my Sy-Tech's. I am glad I bought 2 several yrs back. They were pricey back then. It feels quicker, easier to pull and release...& smoother vs stock. Hope the new vendor in the above post turns out to be a good one for the releases.

Got the syn-tech installed today along with a brand new custom cable from motion pro. all i can say is: sweet! buttery smooth clutch pull, everything feels nice and tight. fantastic!
