thumperslaw, Do you think I could get away with a modified VTR Clutch Master Cylinder + a Junction valve

Clutch lever don't have the right ratio of pull.
You need a radial m/c under the clutch lever. You can run line then to rear m/c but I don't think they are that good.

Later cbr,gsxr,aprill,r1,r6 all good for the job.

HOW MUCH!!! :thumbdown:

I only need the Junction valve and I could do the rest myself.

There sh1t and don't work.
Easy pull clutch is good idea to helps arm pump stop
Dual brake set up is the only way

Also, I'm still not going straight to balance point consistantly yet, although I'm getting there more often than I used to. Still a bit scary so obviously need more practice to lose that fear. Any tips for slowing it down? I know they say standing on the back peg (left foot) sometimes makes it easier?
