I just installed a MotoWheels clutch slave and can say that I'm truly impressed and pleased with it. The build quality is superb. The feel is awsome; much lighter pull and easier to modulate when taking off from a stop (no more bucking 
).
The installation was easy and straightforward. First I drained the system with my Mighty Vac (worth it's weight in gold). Disconnected the line from the old slave and removed it. Installed the new slave. Here's a little trick for anybody planning on doing this. I took an eyedropper and filled the slave with brake fluid up to the threads for the banjo bolt (kinda like priming it). Re-attached the line with the original banjo/bleeder using new crush washers. Topped up the master cylinder and did the initial bleeding with the Mighty Vac. Followed that up by manually bleeding the system. Took about 30 to 45 minutes to get all the air out of the system.
Now for the caveat. Make sure you know which pushrod (long or short) your bike has before you install the slave. According to MotoWheels pre '01 bikes have the short pushrod. That's not the case. My bike is a '98 M750 and has the long pushrod. I originally installed the adaptor for the short pushrod and when I let the clutch out to check engagement nothing happened. ??? The bike did not move at all. The clutch wouldn't engage. Fortunately I polished the adaptor to within an inch of it's life just in the off chance I had to remove it. I removed the adaptor and pumped the system (after re-installing the slave), adding fluid for the added space from the piston moving out. The system now works perfectly. ;D
This is a mod I can't recommend enough. 8)
