greatr useful info thanks for that :D

Im binning the top fairing as its a bit knackerd now after a fence panel went over in the wind and smashed it up going to get a bracket made up for the clocks to mount to and then mount a little healight scren indicator all in one onto the forks via some headlight holders might be able to get the top yoke made up for me anyway but need to see how much it will cost and then make the choice as opposed to getting one off the shelf to suit.......

not sure what bars to go for but the renthal bars seem the best option so far even though there are some very cheap drag bars that dont look to bad on mandp for a whopping £8.99 then im going to do the unheard of and whack a back box onto the whole thing :cry: needs must and its gotta be used for the daily commute after all so its functionality im going for overall but without looking to bad and the back box will be quick release :!:

PLEASE dont abuse for this post.. BUT

back in the BMX days.. remember the "gyro" if some ppl do.. if you had a back brake via cable,, it allowed you to spin your handlebars / forks around and around without getting tangled.. the cable (top) was ALWAYS too long and wobbly.

enter the VW beetle hand-brake (some ppl call it the E-brake).. ok.. it had a small clamp / barrel thing you screwed onto your cable instead of the lump of metal on the end you put into your brake lever.

We cut our outter / inner cable to the length we wanted, and screwed the cable clamp thing on to the inner (the wire inside part) of the cable, and it actually fits inside the brake lever.. YES it fits on a TRX lever aswell..

You would be surprised what a bit of careful measuring / clamping does.. Dunno about clutch, but i STRONGLY suspect it works
enjoy
