    That was one of my main reasons for wanting to do the hydro-conversion. Suck getting through traffic lights w/ no clutch.

          Any local shop can get you an aftermarket clutch cable... no need to get Yamaha... for @ $20 or less and you'll be sure it's the right one.

              what are they thinking?

              local cable quest

              ok so there is this "bike dealer" here in fayetteville and they claim to have a "parts" department, but it consists of oh, we don't carry that but we can have it by thursday, or...we can special order it for you if you would like.

              so thinking just maybe on a sprout of luck the Harley shop just might have something after market. go in, and they asked, "is it Harley?" me "No" them "oh, we dont do Metric bikes"

              Don't they realize their bikes are not made in the USA????


              anywho i am about a step away from opening up an aftermarket parts shop for "metric" bikes.

                  Hi Darren,

                  There are a couple of the members on the UK site (CLICK!) have the conversion; I think there are tech details there.
