Is anyone using a VTR?

The clutch slave cylinder looks very close to drive sprocket - will the drive shaft go?

Also the gearbox and oil filter look very low - too low for ground clearance on a car????

Hi,

í use in my Luego project the VFR 800
i have got the same problem/situation

my soluion is:
1) Weld a bracket and replace the cilinder by another one but mount it longitud.
2) make a part that will be able to fit

thru and near the slave cilinder and then connect to that the output shaft
3) turn the engine and do something whit a chain.

I've used an SP1, basically same engine.
I made an adaptor to bring the slave cylinder out about 2" and a longer clutch rod.
Oil filter isn't a problem but the sump is pretty low.
