Not bad man! Came out pretty decent. Lot of sanding between coats/colors?
+1, I would guess he is an industrial electrician, looks pro.
Damn man, you don't waste any time!
I have the same clutch slave, so I'll chime in too... Part of makes the Aprilia/Rotax slave small and neat is how the bleeder is integrated into the banjo. No physical reason you couldn't mount it in any other arbitrary location (so long as the screw lugs don't hit the alternator bulge), but it would be a real pain to bleed. If you're thinking that you could remove the slave for bleeding: that's possible, but impractical, as being mounted into the sidecover is what retains the piston... when removed from the sidecover, the piston is free to pop out when you pump the lever, unless the retainer is somehow (temporarily) bolted/clamped to the slave body.I have seen a couple of posts on the hyd clutch mod, is there any particular reason that you install the slave with the hydraulic fitting upwards? I realise that it makes it easier to bleed in situ, but if it where on the bottom it might look a little neater?
Mounted upright makes it more than just "easier"; it makes it practical and dead-simple to bleed.
