Any one have a photo of this set up - trying to work out how to fit the horn.

Master cylinder I have (think its a grimeca) has two mounting holes - can fit top one to where horn bracket is (S3 LiS) and have had another stud put below.

But where does the horn now go?

Very interested in this as an option too

the easiest solution would be to relocate the horn down right behind the front wheel. if you have a loud enough exhaust you could also just forget about the horn and rev the engine instead.

depending on where and how you mount the grimeca master cylinder you eventually could also still fit the horn inside with an additional selfmade bracket. but that is not an easy task.

Ian, get in touch with Tommo (tvrepairman on feckers forum). He's done a few and also makes a plate to fit the cylinder on.

Can you assist how this set up works I am guessing it's a part cable ?

It retains standard handle bars wivout a feckin great master cylinder. The cable goes from the lever to a pivot on the semi hydraulic system. The pivot operates a plunger which compresses the hydraulic fluid and operates the brake pads vis a hydraulic hose. All this is mounted behind the horncasting and I have seen some where the horn is retained still in place but at an angle to how it is normally mounted. Various opinions on how good the finished article is, but think that if set up properly does a good job.

Some pictures and discussion of the conversion on the GSF (German Scooter Forum):

How effective is this type of set up and does anyone sell in the uk ?

Can't translate the feckin German, but the link to this is interesting. Looks a nice bit of kit and looks smaller than the Typhoon type

beedspeed sell the grimeca typhoon one for around 40 quid which is a good price, there is a guy on fleabay selling mounting brackets, like the look of that karting one tho' only 31 euros
