i'm def. going to start saving my pennies for one of these!!!  who cares if i'm just building a slightly hopped up stock bore motor, an open clutch is AMAZING!  i rode an older monster with one, and it was so much fun.  it IS a bit different feeling, but it's totally worth it!  and just the rattling and clanking sound coming from under your right leg is worth it alone!!!  nice exhaust + open clutch racket = auditory nirvana  8)

Well I wished all could go quicker, but there has to be food on the table also. Think of it as Santa, you have to wait awhile but when you can open that present...............Wow! ;D

If it is up to me, definitely, but time is limited. Am also building the testbike for it, and that takes up a bit of time.

well i'm sure that i would not be the only one who would be willing to put a deposit for one of these.  just let me know how much and where it should go, and it'll be there!!

one other thing, the kickstarter can still be retained correct?  also, how is the motor blocked off so oil doesn't leak out?  thanks vox!!!

We'll discuss the possibility of putting a deposit in, when the testruns are a succes. But thanks in advance for the vote of convidence. We appriciate that.
The kickstarter can still be used. The clutch runs in a 'basket' which has a oilretainer to keep the oil in. We will make sure that it is a sound oil barriere.

Thanks mate,

Rob

The Nova dry clutch uses a simple double lipped oil seal for the clutch shaft and it seems oil tight...

No, not much. Am busy with too many things. Try to keep voxonda.com running, find new interesting stuff, daily job etc. But patience my friend, it will be there. Do not want to build it in my replica, 'cause that is not streetable and I need to make miles to see if all keeps well, so need to finish the road build Japauto first.

Do not mind the bugging, it is good to keep the pressure on (a bit). Well it is a bit hectic. We're finishing off some triple sets for a 500 Four racer, just finished some sets of preload adjusters for a 50cc racer and a CB900. Am building a few swingarms and still try to build off my street Japauto so we can testdrive the clutch. Next to that my daily job keeps me busy too.
Do the best I can.

Cheers mate,

Rob

sweet deal man!!

you'll have to post some pics of those little projects you mentioned!!  i'm sure there's plenty of people who'd love to see that!!  but if you need a bit of pressure, i can surely provide it!!

i just wish i had a running bike, then i could test one of your first production prototypes!  :-D

now i just need to get you to make a dry clutch for my 01 spirit 750!!

Have you got a new mill Rob? Very nice mate, how much? Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Some work just can't be done with my machines and have to use machinery from a friend of mine. These are done on a 'teach-in' mill, not a full CNC but let's say one step under. Made them for a guy who uses them in his 500 classic racer. Off-set is just 25 m/m.
Can produce them however you want. Made from 6082, these weigh only just over 1.1 kgs. Will PM you for pricing.

Ok.... That's it.

I'm moving to wherever you happen to be. Language barriers be damned.

Stick my name in for the list of people to contact when you are ready for a deposit.

And if you could PM me more pics of that wonderful contraption.... I'd be in your debt.

Hey Havoc,

OK, you're on the list! ;) You know what the problem is, to many idea's and to little time on this here planet I'm afraid. I will have to stop messin' around and get on with the job.
no, serious I wished I could go any faster but only got one pair of hands and also need to relax a bit sometimes. But promiss, it will be sweet when finished!

Cheers, Rob

I'm not chomping at the bit. My bike is a LONG way off. I have business to run as well so.... 8)

Need help with anything let me know or send me specs.

I'm always willing to help out.

Got a couple Mazak's and a (got it used from a business auction)CNC Mill so... If it ever arises.

Are you based in the Netherlands? Or just go there sometimes? I don't I actually know.

Maybe a US based manufacturer to keep costs low for the Yanks? lol.

Havoc,

Thanks for the offer! Yes, I am Dutch so you can say I am based in the Netherlands ;D Got a lot of other work, and the mill I have is conventional. A good friend of mine, who is a wizard on lathe and mill, helps me out a lot has a 'teach-in mill'. Will certainly keep your offer in mind.

Cheers, Rob
