Hydraulic Clutch in a Factory Engine...It's Here !!

[Mossy]

I'm thinking something like this welded to the seat post and the other is a goodie bag of related junk... I can already see this working... It's just a matter of fitment and working out the little details so nothing binds or interference with something else....

Giggity, Giggity,...lol.

Now the hijacked is hijacked... Who's moderator on this ??

Nope...still on hydraulics with Karl's "Project Quagmire"...Giggity...lol.

I call it that because it makes me giggity. lol. It's a monstrosity, that I think will look cool.

With a proportion valve you could run front and rear brakes on one lever.... Banjo to 3/16 back to banjo...

Like to see inside that cover for the hydraulics.

This is the inside...

Well if I could just figure out what cylinder they are using, I could just order it myself and convert my cg's. lol


I got that one coming, but I have to make a bracket, etc for it. More work than just bolting in a cylinder with a side push.

It seems the cover is the actual housing incorporating the slave cylinder along with the piston which pushes the clutch shaft directly like the bucking bar normally would. So by rights, the conversion is a simple 'bolt-on' type and if I'm correct, bleeding would be done at the top, where the clutch arm would normally be....
Being a bolt-on conversion, nothing else on the engine is touched, just bolt it up and off you go.....
Looking at it....I like it - the whole concept follows the 'K.I.S.S' approach as there is very little that can go wrong.
The only thing that I can see potentially going wrong is the seal of the slave cylinder failing AND that is a common weak link in almost any hydraulic setup anyways, so as long as the entire system is sealed correctly with good quality parts, then it should be a fool-proof conversion from the traditional cable actuated setup.

I see a potential issue with a fat chain wearing or getting jammed... There will have to be different lengths hydraulic line made.... The RDM clutch shaft is longer and sets the sprocket out further and shims the cover out also... A 600# spring might be too much for it also... Time will tell when there available on its own without the motor I'm going to get it...

Found some more potential accessories for hydraulic stuff even a Honda red one...
