Heavy Clutch.

Postby jim grace » Sun Apr 17, 2005 4:18 pm

:P hi everybody out there, this is my second m/z, through a motercycle accident in 1971, i lost the use of my right arm,as a consequence the heavy clutch action of the Bagy was a problem, i resolved this by fitting a crankcase mounted clutch oporating arm of the 5,speed t.d.m. this is longer than the standard kit and makes the clutch considerably lighter. Cheers Jim. :D

Wow! I can't imagine how hard it must be to ride with the use of one arm. My hats off to you...
