Slave Cylinder Replacement on 1290 SDR
I bought this as a replacement for the stock slave cylinder for my 2015 1290 Super Duke R at 36201 miles. The lever feel is now better than it was previously. The install was very easy, just make sure you reverse bleed to the master cylinder!

Great quality UK product. Not inexpensive but you get a nice quality part with improved design and hopefully relibility. Reviews I read are positive.
Easy install and bleed. Same lever effort as stock but improved feel. Adjusted engagement point to dial it in at the lever. Very happy so far. Stock cylinder leaked and my goal was to not have to deal with it again. Also replaced plastic spacer block with Oberon billet piece. Improved solid feel. No cons except price but I feel its is worth it so far.
Bike: 2012 KTM 990 SMT w/LC8 engine

Better than stock, better feel. Easy install
The stock unit failed on a 2009 950 SM and we opted for this due to reviews. Install was easy. Bleeding the unit was easy. Clutch feel is vastly improved. Hopefully, it lasts longer than the stock units 14,000 miles.

Oberon Clutch Slave Rocks
The Black Oberon clutch slave was easy to install with perfect quality & the fit & finish is top top notch such addition really changed the looks of the Beast & With the installation of Motocomposites Matte Twill Carbon Fiver Front Sprocket cover
The looks of the area of the bike improved so much thanks to both companies for providing me with such quality upgrades for my Beasty Duke

nice upgrade in quailty from stock unit
Got this for my 08 ktm 990 adv with 28k miles. The stock unit failed while we were about 30 miles from home and I had to trailer the bike back. The piston had scored the inner slave cylinder so I opted for this unit over another stock unit. I also went for the upgraded aluminum backing plate. Quality is A+ and fit was perfect. They provided two different lengths of replacement bolts. The shorter of the provided bolts matched my old ones so I used those. Took about 20 mins to install and bleed. Check advrider forums for bleeding procedure. I had it at my door the next morning after I ordered. Very pleased!

Left foot bling, but worth it
A beautifully machined piece of kit, and it does improve the shift action on my 2015 1290 SD. Very simple install as well, though bleeding the clutch on 1290 SDs a bit of a pain.
What it hasn't been able to do is help finding neutral reliably when pulling up from first, but that's on KTM and not Oberon I suspect.
Probably worth the money in that case - it does improve the change action, and it does look the business. Just a shame it hasn't helped in the quest for reliable neutrals.

Slave cylinder replacement
Bought this in anticipation to replace my factory slave cylinder with almost 29xxx miles on my 2013 990 adv. Saw that my factory one is starting to leak and the fluid was low and very dirty. Have not installed the new slave cylinder yet but both the slave and spacer look to be nice quality.

Waiting for the OEM unit to fail.
Bought as a spare for anticipation failing of the OEM unit.
