Bike clutch M/C

Having just got my bike handle bar mounted clutch master cylinder (thanks Kissy)

I need to think of a way of mounting a pedal to it.

I am concerned that the mastercylinders integral reservoir is going to be upright rather then flat as per the bike.

Will this cause me any problems with fluid flow and the normal operation of the masterculinder/reservoir?

Cheers

Keep it level

Make an ordinary pedal, then mount your bike clutch thing on a piece of handlebar in front of it. Tap a thread in the end of the lever or drill straight through it and connect it to the top of the pedal with a piece of bar so when you press the clutch it pulls the lever.

yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I don't know about the CBR lever but I attached my clutch lever to the front of the engine cradle. I made mine level so I could fill the fluid reservoir on the top. There is a sight gauge on the side that allows you to check levels.

Then using a cable from pedal to the end of the lever.

I guess if you mounted it vertically, you might have to take it off to check the level and fill up the reservoir accordingly. Might be a pain after a few times?

Will post a photo later.

Cheers Snoopy,

Do most brake lines have the same threads as clutch lines? or am i going to have to identify the different clutch and brake line threads?
