I have a 1989-92 GSXR 750 torque arm if that's any good to you? Only have hydraulic lever and master cylinder lying around though. Sure a few guys will have a cable one.

[Gix11]

It's actually down in Sydney at the moment and I haven't seen it for over 6 months so I can't remember - not sure it's identical. I'm too familiar with my 1100 one. Large, can you nick in and have a look mate? Or Ben? You didn't need it did you Rexie?

Where you just going to use one end to weld the other to your existing one? If so which end do you need?

[evilkarl]

Welcome man, Love the old Slabby. If you ever want to chin wag over these old girls I'm always up for it.
I'll give you some dollars for the old swing arm too if you get a replacement.

[Bear]

Hey Ken, welcome. :)

Looking at that 'ol XL185 in the background has brought back some memories. That must be 20+ years old? Looks ok for that age.
You wanna sell it? My missus could do with a scoot like that.

[old gsxrr]

Yea i agree, the hydro clutch on slabbies are rock solid. I'd never go back to a cable from this setup.

[old gsxrr]

good when they're workin, frustrating when they're not

[Benz]

I changed from hydraulic to cable clutch on my ex- slabbie. I blamed the hyd. setup for a grabby action which was making it near impossible to dial up any revs and clutch-slip, so no drag racing for that bike!
I actually think the problem was the clutch basket getting notches worn into it, causing uneven plate release. Heavier springs make it worse. Sound familiar?
Having said that I changed the basket, which improved things, but should really have bought a new one, not filed and sanded a s/hand one

[old gsxrr]

Hey Benz,mine was not letting fluid back to master,and clutch would slip,blew master out as instructed [to be a fix] still the same .i was riding it around and just bleeding excess pressure
at master ,then for no reasom ,no clutch at all .i'd rather replace with a cheaper alternative
than pay outragous prices for new hyd parts

[oldskool]

mate it wll be the slave cylender:D

[old gsxrr]

thanks oldskool,i got feedback that it was the master from g.d.c.

[pappas]

I've got your clutch lever mate, just missing the nut off the bolt that holds the lever on.

[old gsxrr]

great pappas,how much do you want to send it to Murgon 4605-ken

[zx12argh]

Welcome aboard mate...
I just heard you say Murgon... I used to live in kingaroy (about 12 years ago) and would have to commute to work in Murgon sometimes...
