Hydraulic clutch conversion.

knothead · 05-02-2008, 09:21 PM

Has anyone tried this yet? My cable broke, can't find a replacement locally. The red would look kind of funny on a blue bike, but WTH, right?

I looked at those and it looks nice and I thought it might be nice if I got stronger clutch springs it might make it easier to pull the clutch in even though I have no problems at all with pulling in the stock clutch.

Wait Wait I cant buy one because of this.

To convert your clutch to hydraulic operation, some moderate creativity and mechanical aptitude will be required.

That leaves me out.

I may get one for the wifes bike since I plan on a set of bars and handguards and that would look great on her bike.

Great option though.

So evidently the line is long enough. My concern was that it might be a little short.

I keep hearing that, but I've made too many bombs with aluminium foil and ovencleaner.. I don't want to try it with something I'd like to keep!

the bombs only work because they are in a space, where the air cannot escape. i actually had one explode in my face. good times. you could always use some sandpaper. anodized coatings are usually pretty thin.

The coating came off of my forks when I was cleaning the bike. I sprayed them with Greased Lightning and the color just ran away!
