Buying a foot clutch asm

[vickie m ford]

I have seen builds on you tube that seem to have a lever that mount behind mid controls then has a linkage that goes to the clutch cover any body know where i can get one of those i know you can just use a lever of the gear box or go into the box and even use a clutch lever on the shifter.seen one that looked store bought i checked like pandamonium and hughes nothing

looks like you used a brake pedal and a bent wrench .i understand how you did your shifter thats cool what i dont understand is what your foot pedal is going to? in the frame. i know thatunder the small round center is the connection for where the shaft pushes in to engage . did you run a rod to the atachment then back , so that when the pedal is depressed it pulls ? thanks for the info and a good picture of your set up

 

[jamesgs4]

I did not use a wrench, that is just a reversed brake pedal. the foot pedal is using a stock brake pivot and a shortened drum brake rod that is connected to the worm gear arm under the cover. the work gear has been re-clocked to work with the rod horizontally.

ok ,cool i have a spare rod and brake piece from a drum brake bike can get a second pedal. . did you just drill a hole same size as geared part?i also know that the cable is held on with a pin and kotter . so i could probley drill a hole i n the rod and re pin and kotter. i also see i would have to cut my casing down . thanks again for your time .still suprises me that hughes or pandamonium isnt making one .saw another bike set up with one looked like a factory bought set up. my friend allways puts suicide shifts on his bikes i asked him yesterday is it like driving a car with a clutch the answer was simply no lol

my name is andrew did you see what i did in my album with my frame. going to powder monday start build fri nite . watch the progress by sun should be rolling and engine. still trying to decide on an airbrusher for the tank want a different type of mural kinda heaven hell on each side

 

[jamesgs4]

you don't have to cut your case at all, I just did that to trim some fat. Both ends of the rod are attached with a pin and cotter pin. it is sort of like driving a stick shift car, only you shift with your left hand instead.

two more. sorry did you just rotate mechanism 180 and theres a flat piece off that did you just drill a hole in the end of the rod? and pin thanks james

Oooooooooo! Gonna have to watch this one! Ive always liked James' set-up. Wanna build my own but Im not there yet...

 

[vickie m ford]

here are some pics.
this pic is a top view to show the rod, it is in tension, the clutch pedal pulls it when I step on it.

here is a close up of the worm gear.

it is close to 6 o'clock normally, and about 5 o clock when I step on the pedal

(3rd pic) the end that connects to the worm gear arm is the cable connection welded to the rod.

 

[jamesgs4]

About the worm gear arm. At rest, the worm gear is partially turned, I just adjusted the clutch to not disengage because I needed the arm to be at the 6 o clock position. hope that makes sense. Also, dont put your masterlink clip on backwards like I did

thanks james dont at what point i will get to the clutch .do know i get to start building today . post picks tommorow where im at p.s mine doesnt have the open space to run the rod into will either have to change or find a pin set up dont want to just weld rod to plate
