Making stuff
So I have been getting steady requests for my clutch slave levers since the last run I did in 2006. I didn't have a workshop at school so I couldn't make any.
So I bought my own house about a year ago and have been outfitting the garage with all the tools I need for my various projects. I'm now ready to start making clutch slave levers again. I originally did this over at SBN (the original thread on the other forum for reference).
I was told I'd get more replies if I posted here, so here I go:
The primary purpose of the lever is to make the clutch pull of the bike longer for a smoother engagement and less lever force required to disengage the clutch. This prevents stalling at lights, jerking between shifts, etc. It also makes your left hand happy from the reduced tension on the shifter lever. The bike generally becomes easier to ride, even easier to drag race.
If you want to send me your lever for modification, I'd be happy to do it for you. The only caveat to this, however, is that I won't be ordering a bunch of levers like I did last time and modify them. That was a HUGE hassle for me. What I would rather do is you guys to send in your cores and me modify them en mass and mail them back to you. Additionally, I'd like to also modify the bracket that holds the cable, since adjusting this piece would keep the geometry better. So if you want to have this done, please respond to this post and when I get enough people to do it at once, I'll order all the supplies I need and you guys can all ship your levers and brackets at the same time so the turnaround will be fast.
The levers will be similar to the last ones I made, but I'll be using my fancy new TIG welder this go-around and the bracket that holds the cable will have an extension welded to it. All parts will be powdercoated the matte textured black, just like last time (they match the '06+ frames beautifully, and still look awesome on the '04-05 frames).
Since these are kinda finicky to make and everything is done by hand, the price to have it modified will be $50. This includes the lever and the bracket. If you already have one of my levers and you want to have the cable bracket modified for a straighter pull for less cable wear and powdercoated, It will be $20.

No more orders please! I'm all out of supplies. If you are still interested, I'll probably make another run of these in a few months. Just stay tuned! (sending PMs will only fill up my box )
