Ralf's works great on my H2. If you want a stocker, I have one but it's not the ball bearing type.

I have a Sytec on my '72 H2, not real impressed as it is hard to pull, and not so sure it disengages as much as it should. I started restoring a H2C, and the clutch lever pull on it was much nicer, and that was the OEM ball-bearing clutch mechanism. I will most likely try one of Ralf's actuators and see how it works. Or maybe a OEM ball bearing actuator.

Thanks for all the input.
I've managed to purchase a used OEM ball bearing release, and a good, used neutral switch.
Someday, if I decide I need to replace the release, I will definitely get the repro brass one.

Is Ralf still in the actuator business? I sent him a message on his website weeks ago and never rec'd a response.

There are a couple of Ralfs, they are easy to access on FB, and I think Ralf Gille (sp) just advertised a new batch...……. I'll try and find the link a bit later.

Ralf is a regular on Kawasaki Triples Worldwide, (FB Group), try there. His clutch actuator is a quality item.

That one isn't Ralph's........ Ralph's has a machined, very strong cable holder, and the adjuster screw has an allen key head.
