hi mik
wasn't sure if you had a slipper clutch (£600) or quickshifter (£220), both are avaliable on ebay, let me know and i'll send you the links.
you mad scientist.............
See no need for a quickshifter.... as for teh slipper clutch, I have been giving that some thought; however, I am looking at putting my (hard anodized aluminum) HYperplate clutch plates back in (shave about 1.2 lb in spinning wieght) and they are not ideal for slippers. Haven't ruled it out however (that TSS unit looks dandy).....

FWIW, my main idea right now to ditch (sell) the 320mm EBC race rotors (and RJL pads) and replace them with Braketech Axis Cobra (SS) rotors (no oversize available, so 296mm it would be) coupled with ZCOO pads (said to be comparable to HRC pads, which I used before and were incredible). I am just wondering if this would be akin to trading a dollar for four quarters, however (at a cost of a few hundred dollars). The main objective of the exercise would be to shed a bit of weight (smaller rotors, lose the caliper relocation brackets) and possibly improve the braking slightly.....
Also I picked up a 900RR aluminum subframe a while back and was looking at modding it to fit with the stock VTR tail. However, upon close inspection, I realized it would require some fabrication which in turn means tools (and skills?) I don't have. I may revisit the idea (have it and a stock VTR subframe sitting in boxes in the garage) and farm it out to someone.....
The idea of vacuum bleed valves (to act as a quasi-slipper clutch) is also appealing.....
i was toying with putting a different rear end on my bike, but it's a tricky job, maybe next year, the fun is in the looking around trying to figure out what would look good.....hmmmm
the fella with the red vtr on the forum with thr r1 (i think) rear end and under seat pipes looks very nice.......
