Hi,
i missed some episods of the adventures of motorcycle-style clutches, sorry about it.
Since a silly accident i've got a few problems with my left hand: my ring-finger is limited in mobility and strenght because of arthrosis and pain.
When i'm not riding my auto (GTS) i'd like to have a very light lever action on my lammy clutch.
The engines on which i intend to fit this type of clutch are not very powerful: GT186 (25dell'orto and clubman), 200 stage 4 (jetex and ancilotti) soonly replaced by 225 rapido top-end (26 jetex and ancilotti).
So: AF new clutch or LTH one?
Cheers for advice and return of experiences.
Vincent.

there is no reason if your hand is that bad you couldnt do a foot on on your floor boards or speak to adinewnham on sbw as he does special one offs for disabled bikers

fit hydraulic brake on left hand, then put clutch on right hand? you"d have to practice like f@@k, and no-one would want a go of your scooter! or hydraulic the clutch? pricey, but i suppose its gonna cost anyway?

Speak to Chris Sadd about doing you a hydraulic clutch, light, smooth and not as expensive as you might think.

gp 200/125 gears with the right sprockets to get to your final ratio; as much surface area; number of clutch plates; as can be squeezed into the basket; with enough free play for clutch plate separation; then you can use the lightest springs helping to give a light clutch action that's if your cable is friction free and fitted correctly,
or goldeneyes hydraulic conversion,

That looks interesting :geek: do you think that could be mounted on the cable adjuster block?
I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order.

Cheers for quick and useful answer Mark.
Have to read entirely the post now...
You've tried it and approved?
My left hand isn't that bad and in the worst case i'll have to manage either with a plastic finger joint or a Yakuza cut-off finger :shock:

That's an other idea that could suit my Jet 200 but certainly not on my Winter Model if i finish this project one day :mrgreen:
An idea of cost and how to contact Chris Sadd? PM please :arrow:
