Am I trying too hard?

is this possible? I would think so with longer SS line and some mods to the clutch lever mount...

I'd get her running first...

 

haha, it doesn run pretty darn good,

I ran outta things to do to it, waiting for parts does crazy things to you

I was going to buy some new blinkers cuz I broke mine... but I got it fixed with some creativity... now i'm just looking around

I've bought 5 things on ebay tonite that are 5 bucks or less
grips
stickers
tank pad
etc etc

 

I don't know, I think you'd lose the "feel" of the clutch...

 

I agree with that, however alot of the modern bikes have hydrolic clutches, it can only be better.

I can see it at first being difficult to partially engage the clutch to ease into gear and stuff, but I think you'd get used to it.

Also, if that mc were ever to break, I could always use a cheap quad mc or somethiing and it would probably work better.... I'm really thinking about getting it, if the stainless steel line is long enough

 

Please Schooter, do it!! And then let us know if it works. I would love to convert my 550 clutch to hydraulic. I've ridden 2 bikes with hydraulic clutches and you still feel where the clutch engages.

First, I'd better replace those worn clutch plates though...

 

schooter please post the link to the sub $5 grips...

 

I got to thinking about it guys.....

you could build your own, alot better, and all you need is that end piece that lifts the clutch lever....

but he probably wouldnt sell just that piece.


i'll probably get it, though I would have to sneak it past my parents...like i did my shocks.


I've got some more things to sell on Ebay while up at college,

 

I had a hydraulic clutch on my '83 nighthawk. It's definitely a different feel. The sport bikes i've ridden all have dry clutches, and you get a better sense of response IMO. But for an XJ maybe it's a good idea if you get it working...

 

that 83 nighthawk could be a direct bolt on...

 

Hey schooter. I only worry about the price (madein china perhaps)being so low. Remember what happened to me when I got my China made brake master cylinder, LOL

Besides. What's wrong with working out your forearms as you shift gears?

 

Its not hard or shifting gears or anything... I just think its "cool"

 

Havn't you got any college work to do? or maybe some snow clearing.
Or organise a Nobama rally.

 

Lol wiz

 

I've been working on it.......

 

Haha... schooter the inventor.
