thanks nik

Front hub nut 229 to 258 lb/ft

Clutch on a bike engine is easy enough for hand operation so the brake is the only real thing to sort and a big enough servo should make that workable. You could look at formula 1 style steering wheel for electronic gearchanges worked by solenoid, several systems on the market that do away with the clutch once moving.

hi, cheers for the info have been looking everywhere, i drive n auto astra sri with push and pull hand controls, i also have a raptor 700 quad with kliktonic shift, the only thing is havin enough hands, lets say you were sat in your kit and your feet didn work, you have the paddle shift mechanism but use it as your accelerator and brake so thats your right hand taken up, your left does the steering the buttons can go on the steering wheel for changing gear thats fine but say your trammin down a hill, you brake and shift down, your right hand is braking, your left has the steering wheel and you are turnin in to say a pub car park, how do you pull the clutch lever in???, i have thought for many hours on this one , i thought of a lever like a clutch lever stuck to say where most bike engine kit cars have there gear levers but it needs to be near the steering wheel, it also need to have normal operation for my dad. the thing i have been looking at is an auto clucth they make them in the sates and i am speaking to a guy who uses them on a hyabusa turbo drag bike and you can set it to within 150 rpm at any point in the rev range but they say they are expensive, if the car was purely for track then a clutch on the side of you is fine as you only need it for setting off, have a think, any ideas are greatful

cheers for ya time nik
