Hydraulic clutch
Our hydraulic conversion for the Muzzy lockup is now working great. It feels just as good as the previous cable setup and, of course, will never break pullers. Without any weights on the arms it ran a personal best of 9.25 @ 153 this weekend, beating every Busa there (again) at the London City Airport sprint. This is a 1270 on motor. We have a 70hp progressive nitrous kit to install in the next few weeks and hopefully crack the 8s before the end of the season.
The airport venue is pretty unusual, it's an island in the middle of the river Thames in London - if you run off the track you go in the water! It has a concrete surface with machined grooves in to help disperse the water for the aircraft. The grooves make it quite grippy but not as good as a real dragstrip so this is a limiting factor for anything with really big hp.

It's home made. The piston mounted in the clutch cover pulls directly on the clutch rod - there is no puller to twist and break.

Ohhh..misread that sorry...thought you said it was a muzzy part...my bad 
I can picture it in my head...did you fab up the puller part yourself or is it using some other manufactured item off another bike perhaps?
Got any closeup pics? plan on selling others?

The master cylinder and lever is off a ZX11. The slave cylinder/piston was fabbed and fitted to the cover which was a PITA job to line up because of the compound angle on the cover and the fact that you can't see where it should go when the cover is on. The guy who did it doesn't want to do it again but I'll take some pics next time the cover is off to give you a better idea. If we were to do it again the best way to mark the centre of the clutch rod on the inside of the cover would be to make up a replacement for the clutch rod with a spike on it and just tap the cover lightly onto the dowels to mark the inside of the cover on the spike. Once you have that marked, it's easy to mount the slave in the right place.
