Yea now that i think about it, i saw a duel purpose street bike at my friends shop that had a dry clutch from the factory.
  I can't remember if it was a BMW or a DUCATI.  One note, it was a noisey clutch !

cant tell between a duc and a beemer? driving license suspended! go have an eye check ;)

BTW, beemers have dry clutches since 1923...

Yeh, cos it's a 2 wheeled car. ;D ;D ;D

I sure hope it's not that quiet!! I want to hear that bugger!!!  Can you make just mine sound like there's a bag full of nickels and dimes in a clothes dryer?!?  The sight of and sound of a clutch working is awesome!  I'm a form follows function kind of guy :) 

Either way, can't wait to hear the next update rob!!!

 Looks really good Vox..
 As to whether rain will affect them, look at Where it is...

if  H-D's can run them sticking out in the open for a 1/3 of a century.. we got nothing to worry about...

Thanks mates for all the nice and encouraging words.

Seems all the pieces of the puzzle fall together now. Waiting for some components now to complete the build sofar that I can start the engine. In the meanwhile have to start on the tank and seat combo.

While trying to ride the bike before it getting for the worst, weatherwise, I try to keep going. Positioned the seat, mounted a flat 'dragbar' and started with the 4 into 1 exhaust. Made some lightweight exhaustclamps.
Took a seat and liked this sit up and beg position.
Again sorry for the shots, no new battery yet.

awesome look!!  did you add those idiot lights to the tach there?  i'm thinking about drilling for some tiny LED's for oil pressure and neutral. 

nice work on the fork brace too, another one of your creations??  can't WAIT to see this in action, it's seriously inspirational to watch your work Rob!

Thanks G,

The tach is from a 350 four has these lights in them. Fork brace is a italian job, think it's Tarozzi. Really helps to stiffen(???) the front fork. Hope to have some action in the near future.

Cheers, Rob

Be sure to use a 20 m/m axle, that helps more than a brace!

You do not have to machine anything. PM or mail me.
