I am converting from a cable to hydraulically operated clutch, the three-piece billet clutch cover has a standard mounting to suit a cable.   I had to make a new mounting bracket; I had a choice of clutch slave cylinders. The black one is a Magura and the silver one is an ebay purchase.

I take it that the slave wont fit on the standard cable fitting I could have bodged the original fitting to accept the eBay slave cylinder, but the Magura cyl would not of been able to be used in the original fitting - hence why I made the new fitting.

nice build, coming along lovely, reminds me doing my 421, I am on with another at the moment, but its a 500cc twin this time, running R6 suspension etc, will get round to posting some stuff up in due course. For now a couple of pictures of my 421, I've never got round to deciding what to paint it, so for now its like "batmans bike" !      I suspect your's is going to be much better than my 421, you decided what paint scheme its having, that's what I am struggling with at the moment

Hi mate - how you doing? Do you have any pictures / video you can post, I would love to see it. Try posting it on RGV500 & RG r 500 facebook, you may get some interest. So what are you planning on building next - when you sell this beast !

I suspect your's is going to be much better than my 421, you decided what paint scheme its having, that's what I am struggling with at the moment That is a lovely looking bike, not sure mine is going to be better - just a different interpretation ! No i'm not sure on paint / finish, I certainly do not want to cover all the carbon fibre - whats the point of that! It will probably be some subtle bespoke graphics + lacquer. I always like the motogp pre season bikes that are mostly carbon fibre body work + graphics, so may go along those lines - not sure to be honest, although it is 90% complete now it will still have to be fully stripped down for frame painting etc, as I had to modify the frame there are now places without anodising so I need to do something with that. Get a thread going on your new build - I would love to see it. Cheers
