Anyone have one?

Know where one can be secured?

Wondering if I can create one from the slave cylinder and line from a Sportster kit but use a Nissin clutch master cylinder:



Was considering doing a Nissin conversion for the brakes anyway.

Thoughts?

Why? Have you ever used one long term?


Not worth the effort. Man up those little boy arms, and pull harder.

When I first got my M2, I couldn't believe how hard the clutch-pull was. A few twists of the throttle tells me why I want a good solid clutch. I wouldn't bother

Al has sold them in the past, but there was quality control issues with the manufacturer so he may not carry them any longer. Have you looked at the international Buell aftermarketeers? Maybe Twincycles has something.

I bought a easy pull ramp from the HD dealership and have found it to be acceptable for my needs, except in heavy traffic. Old age came early for my left wrist and few other joints as well... Anyway, the "E-Z" pull attachment was okay but needed some mod to fit right and sometimes hung up when the clutch lever was released. That's why I got the replacement ramp assy (similar to the Muller "power" clutch ramp).

You know,everyone is making the assumption that Fatty wants this for ease of use.He doesn't say that.Could be he want's to be the first kid on his block with one.After all,he's always been a trend setter.

Maybe he just wants to get rid of his stone age clutch assy. My trail bike has a one finger clutch, and it's pretty nice(granted I use it more than the street bike clutch).

I don't see why you couldn't adapt one of those masters to a magura or similar slave.

Hydraulic clutches offer a smoother ramp with less effort and allows you to use a heavier spring (which after looking at FT's profile picture may come in handy )without increasing clutch effort at the handle. If set up right, it would be a pretty sweet deal.

Addendum: Poking around on the ol' internet and found this XB forum thread from 2004:http://badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/32777/45123.html?1076284776
