Yes G, stop pestering me, can't stand it no more!!! ;D ;D ;D no seriously no prob my friend. Process was stopped due to preppin' for trackday and the fact I could not prep and build a second bike in time to take it with me to France. But.....................the kit is build into the very fast and strong CR750 now and will be Dynoed later this week and will make a short vid of it, including sound!
Keep watching this space!
@Havoc, I do not seem to have a problem with the site, maybe just at your work. Let me know if it works allright at home.

Thanks, Rob

Glad you like it G,

Just want to set one thing straight for the record, the design is not mine! A good friend of mine, Piet, build this prototype and after awhile I caught up with the project and helped him out with the adaption of the oilcircuit, bearings and the (Barnett) dry clutch plates. So now we are in it together and we will make a succes out of it. ;D ;D

G'Day Rob, I'm buying one of Cycle X's lock up clutches for my 1060cc "Cobra" project, I wonder if you could adapt your dry clutch conversion to suit? It'd be pretty cool to have a dry lock up clutch! Cheers, Terry. ;D

My quess is he does take up dragracing! Nice setup, and yes it could be adapted to take up a lock up device. But I think our clutch can handle this power without a lockup  ;D ;D

Thanks Rob, apart from the "pose value" of the lockup clutch, I love the idea of a nice light clutch, I've got heavy duty Barnett plates and springs in my 836 engine, and even with my big hands and massive strength, it's a PITA in city traffic. The thought of a nice light clutch that uses centrifugal force and not big heavy springs to hold those plates together really appeals. I'll talk to you about one of your sweet dry clutch conversions once I get the engine together. Cheers, Terry. ;D
