Hi, has any one used one of these on a lambretta. I'm having problems using my left hand at the mo due to a form of arthritis and want to make pulling in the clutch easier. Obviously the hydraulic pipe needs extending as its only about 900mm but rather than fork out for a full side case conversion (I'm on a tight budget) I'm wondering if this will work. Thanks, Tony

You could look at something like this:

These are used for motox bikes and im certain could be used on a lambretta...you should be able to source one in the UK cheaper as well ??

them ebay ones are crap, designed for pitbikes and have no bleed nipple
having said that I know someone that fitted one to a big bike engine and its still going, ont eh back of that several epople bought them and none survived more than a couple of weeks
the proper ones are from magura/venhill, about £90 each

heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it does fail, hit them with it!!!

Yes i tried the pit bike ones and they are crap i then brought a Venhill one and had it working pretty well ,but strugled to get it set right, i realised the problem was, the venhill cylinder didnt have enough travel. It would start to drag when the clutch was warmed up, so id adjust it, but then it would slip also the clutch was no lighter than with the cable.
I was using An AJP master of a speedfight ? i think ? a bigger cylinder was the next move, but i shelved it

Ok, thanks for the replies . Has any body tried something similar that does work or would I be better off going for a sidecase conversion.

I think they were off a speedfight, the clutch one would be the rear brake on an auto. the gear change housing was modified by myself and a welder

Yes, and if you look closely at the photo you'll see the hose is a lot longer, and goes in a loop, to allow for the movement of the hear change.mickdale wrote:thankscarlos fandango wrote:I think they were off a speedfight, the clutch one would be the rear brake on an auto. the gear change housing was modified by myself and a welder
