Yep, I have them on both my scoots and I'll never go back to the original bend the cable kerfuffle. These ones are so much easier to adjust. Only thing I'd recommend is to change the nyloc nut every know and then, maybe once a year, as they lose their "gripping" powers after they've been adjusted a few times.

PM me if you want one. I reckon I've sold 500, and never had one returned.

The best thing about them is the way it speeds-up the process of dropping then engine: take the nut off, and pull the inner and outer straight out the back of the crankcase.
