    Hydraulic Clutch Conversion;

    So, I am researching a kit for both my CBX custom, as well as for my wife's T5 850 Moto Guzzi and my thoughts turned to the Suzi's wrist-cramper...

    I found a pull-type slave cylinder that appears to be a a good potential for the 1980 GSX1100. Anybody else here ever attempt converting with any degree of success?

    Why bother, a well maintained GS has a feather clutch.

      If your cables and springs are good your clutch should be easy to pull . if it is hard it needs service some where.Maybe someone put heavy duty springs or something. I have a hydraulic on clutch on my ZRX and I would rather have a cable clutch, because cable has better feel of whats happening. I had a Suzuki TLR which I converted to cable because with the Hydraulic it was either engaged or not. Same with my GSXR 1100.

      “Remember When in doubt use full throttle, It may not improve the situation ,but it will end the suspense ,
      If it isn't going to make it faster or safer it isn't worth doing

        We are on the same page. I prefer a hydraulic clutch for many reasons.
