On the ride to Ace Cafe London today I aggrevated an old injury making the clutch really painful to use. It's only a 4 plate Surflex with std springs but it was agony making me think I may have to go the auto route, which I don't want to do just yet. Anyway, is there a hydraulic, or a lighter, plug and play option that uses the cable operation from the headset to give an easier time to my left hand and also look standard as far as the controls are concerned, don't want any master cylinders etc. on display or to spend the cost of a whole scooter in the pocess?
Cheers

Thanks for the offer Steve. Are they really any good and do they fit a Lammy?

Bloody hell, just checked the demon tweaks site - it looks the same as the beedspeed product at a third of the price :shocking:

there was a thread on the otherside 8-) about these prob on the old forum , go on you know you want to join the darkside i did 150 miles today on the drag my only wish as nice as my scooter is or looks is that it was in a lammy/lammytype frame with a more trad look altho when i turned up at coventry i was swamped by people which i wouldnt have got from an auto lammy :|
there are various types of thumb clutch for people with problems with hands,arms and joints ive seen some trick conversions on trikes maybe this is the way to go im sure some serch engine can help there pretty big on this in the USA

my mate is a stunt rider, he uses a thumb clutch so his cluch lever can be used as a rear brake.

however a clutch on a sports bike is much lighter than a lammy or vespa as its hydrolic so maybe just fydrolic would do the job.....or a foot clutch like an early Indian :shock:

your not wrong scooterize a product and add 100% ,for this very reason i wouldnt use that company, in buissnes when quoting or asking for goods and services i give sellers/ buyers one chance there best shot as it were, if they give a good price in a good time frame they get the buissnes/work if not i let them know they can go f@@k themselfs harsh i know :twisted: im not there to put them out of buissness just get the best price that day for myself or my employer some steelstock prices vary by 25% for the same product, big deal when your ordering 100 tons in 4 arctic loads , discount make me/my employer more competative or give the welders/fabricators more time to do the job anyway back to the thread
