The southbend is awesome, took around 500 miles to fully bed in but feels great now  :happy2:

I was having some problems on mine has be known to me the proflex dogbone bush I had fitted was making 1st and 2nd vibrate so much it was undrivable, I took it out today at Darkside and its now perfect :happy2:

The DMF was hiding the vibration so going to the SMF made it so bad with the proflex bush

Cant say my pedal has ever stuck but I think Alex's has.  Did you have the star shaped paddle clutch or full circle organic disc?

Mine stuck as the master cylinder had cracked.  Too much pressure I reckon.  Helix have a new version available now that's meant to be better.

What's the pedal feel and stiffness like with the southbend?
