    Finished my Cable to Hydraulic conversion

    I like the feel of a hydraulic clutch system and could not find a conversion kit anywhere for my 750 gixx. So I decided to design and build my own. I modeled it up in Mastercam solids and sent it off to be quoted to be machined for me.
    It is all billet aluminum. It uses a stock 07 1K clutch slave, and I am also running an 07 1K Mastercylinder.
    It will actually work for any 06-09 600 and 750.

    I got to test it out today on the street and it worked great. No slipping and a smooth pull.
    What do you think?

    You can send him a message here: link
    I imagine if he has enough demand, he probably will.

    I'd be interested as well. I've got a couple brackets for mini moto machines that I'd love to have turned into actual metal, but I haven't found anyone local to do the work.

    The way I found a shop to make my parts was on mfg.com
    I basically signed up and uploaded my solid model on there, and in no time, you have shops quoting on your job. The prices varied a lot! I ended up going with a guy in Michigan who is real cool, and very good pricing.
    If you want, pm me and I can hook you up with him.
