I was doing some research for a Clutch Master Cylinder and notice the year of ZX9 you are using for parts has a MC reservoir attached to the lever. The angle that the MC reservoir was designed to sit on clubmans not on upright handle bars. This may cause air bubbles in the line. Just something to verify won't be an issue.


Correction, they were designed for clip-on not clubman. The drag bars may be alright as they would be close to the same angle.

I did buy straight bars (actually,I think i they were the first thing I bought on this project ,To kill the cruiser!!) but Ive also been having these strange perverted thoughts about clip ons!!! So Im not sure which way Im going to go. I have the straight bars,so Ill work with them for now.
So many details come up that you cant forsee everything. My attitude now is just to plow on . I noticed the gearchange rearset that I mounted is mighty close to the side stand. Is that Goin g to cause problems? No idea.Ill throw myself off that bridge when I come to it.
Onwards and upwards.


Yes, I have had the same conversation with myself. I decided I needed to get it up and running then doing some of the tweaks that aren't required. And then I saw your post on the hydraulic conversion and Had to do it too.

So,apparently 42mm is an odd size for a hole drill and nobody has it,so I went with a 41mm.

The hole was spot on centered

I sanded it out a bit and got a nice snug fit

How it meets up with the push rod

and itll sit something like this

so i will recut the profile on the front of the MDF before I transfer it to the alu plate

Thats it so far.
Something I forgot to mention,the main reason for using the MDF is to end up with a template.The plan being to cut the alu slightly oversize then run around it with the router to get a finished shape. So all the mistakes can be done on the first piece of MDF,then I make a second MDF plate, the good one, with all the holes drilled in the right place,the right profile to mate nicley with the block and nice clean ,sanded edges to run the router around. Then go for the final piece on the 10mm alu.
I havent tackled such thick aluminium before but the guy at the aluminium center reckons its no problem to use wood working bits.So long as I keep the piece cooled . A jigsaw for the rough cut then a copy bit on the router and lots of WD40.
We will see!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThey are nice,arent they! I think theyre from Thailand but Im not sure. Theyve been getting very good reviews and are pretty popular among classic enthusiasts here in europe. The ones Im going for (those in the photo) are the cheapest model.

But they have others for different price range. The piggyback ones are very nice but out of my budget.

I got a YSS shock for my Z650 and it seemed like the best option considering price, performance and reviews. I've not ridden it yet or had it for a while to say more than that yet. Also I've got a monoshock one so it's different to the dual shock options.

It was a toss up between theYSS and the Ikons but I couldnt find the Ikons I wanted and was told that it would take weeks to order them from down under.! They were a similar price and they werent Hagons, so I went with the YSS. Itll be a while before they hit the road though.A lot of other stuff to do first.

Back to the clutch conversion. One of the bolt holes was munched up,so Ive filled it with liquid metal and plan to thread an insert into it.
The problem is,its in a very awkward place (of course) and I cant get the drill onto it. I bought and extra long one yesterday and if I pull the
generator cover off,I hope to be able to get at it. Could someone do me a favour and get out the verniers. I need to know how deep the hole should be. I dont want to drill through into the crankcase.
Its the hole at the end of my finger.Top left.

Thanks in advance
