I think I’ve just found the solution for you guys...
Perfect. Just needs slicks on the back.

For me it's like every day is a new adventure (read issue), and not that pleasant. But I'm learning to live with it and stay away from the dr's (and booze) as much as possible. I've not seen dr's do that much other than give me pills to keep my heart rate down and blood pressure too, 125/70 is not bad at 77. I just haven't been on the bike for a couple years though. I just haven't got the balance and reflexes I feel I need.
CNW hydraulic clutch mod...nuff said it’s saved meEnthusiasm at its finest..... You've gotten my day off to a positive beginning.
Hydraulic clutch on commando is old as time.
In the 80's it was ?Greg Albaugh? from Tennessee. Into the 90's it was Dennis John Cavalier north of NYC (Mr. drouin supercharger).
Can't argue it is an easy pull but I'd be surprised if instead of mechanical advantage, like on the cable/mechanical system with the atlas arm, I'd bet the active hydraulic lever stroke length, while easier, is longer to create the adequate movement for the diaphragm.
But $489 ?

The clutch mechanism inside the TTI box is much better than the one inside the Norton box.
I only use the clutch at the start of a race or when down-shifting to match the revs. On the up-shifts, I simply back the throttle off a bit to reduce the load and then press the change lever down.
It was a "manly" clutch! Didn't much matter when I was 23...I agree with Mike. I wore out my left glove with the heavy clutch my 750 had in those early days. Didn't know any better then.
