Is anyone running a Hydraulic clutch? I have seen a couple in the mags and am thinking about it when I take the bike apart over the winter. The ones I have seen look simple enough to install. Any thoughts on the subject?
A post from another forum, where the OP is very happy with this particular hydraulic clutch ...
... convert to HYDRAULIC CLUTCH ... No more cable flapping in the breeze, no more periodic adjustments, no more ***** & ramp mechanism popping out of place in the primary cover.
The entire mechanism screws into your primary cover's clutch adjustment plug hole and eliminates everything else that actuates your clutch ... All it requires is a 11/16"-bore master cylinfer (about $80 on eGay) and a brake line, which you can tie-wrap out of the way to the frame.
I did it to my '74 and it is ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY the very best upgrade on my bike.
It completely eliminated the "creeping" forward at stoplights that I used to get with the clutch held in, made engagement smoother, and holds up great to the daily abuse ...

I was going to use sport bike controls like a brembo or something like that 1 to control the clutch and 1 for the front brake. Get a long line and hide it along the frame. Still not sure if I am going to ge that way or not
