Pity about the gear linkage - Right foot reverse pattern would really mess with my head.

Hi Cam, that's how the Motodd is set up too, don't have any issues swapping between the 3 different patterns on my 3 bikes.
The Motodd is a mind fuck for those that take it for a ride though.
I learnt to ride with a R/H 1 up 4 down pattern, single desmo ducati.

So did I - on old pommy bikes* but that was so long ago I'd struggle to do it safely now. It's not difficult to do when you're thinking about it, but in a situation where you rely on reflexes, I'd probably jab down on the gear lever when I wanted to brake. In fact, I did exactly that the last time I rode a bike with that gearshift setup (Ducati GT 750). Nearly T-boned a car at an intersection.
* my old pommy bikes were a 1952 AJS model 18 and 1966 Triumph Bonneville. They were worth bugger-all when I had them in the early 70s, but if I still had them now I could flog the pair of them for about $15,000. Funny how values change. There's a bunch of old bikes I wish I still had just for their present value. I traded in my Kawasaki Z1B for $1,700 in 1986, it's worth $20k now.

Hi Red
proposed price seems fair to me.

Bevelman was over today so we could do some more work on his track bike, is back off to the dyno room tomorrow so we needed to change a few things and fix the odd bit or two
chasing those few extra ponies that are trapped in the engine
so we fitted up the 1st hydraulic clutch cover, is the 2nd test piece and we needed to see if we have any issues
bleed nipple needs moving, slight clearance adjustment on one hole, wrong font style used, apart from that, clutch feels great and the cover was a neat fit
track bike is getting billet flash now 8)

You know you don't have any major issues when you start complaining about the font style

Rode RH 1-down 4-up on my Lav while mechaniking in a predom Jap bike workshop all LH 1-down 4- or 5-up, changed the Lav to 1-up 4-down while there, had RH indicator stalk cars, then left, then right and now back to left again in the Skoda Scout (or the old Hi Ace van - RH stalk) - you just get use to it! My pref in bikes is 1-up 4-down for sure.
BTW, very very nice work there Red!
so we are finally ready to start mass producing these billet hydraulic clutch covers, had a couple of near misses but everything is now sorted
in the attached photo, 3 covers in front are correct
can make them with Laverda logo, in different sizes, Redax logo or bare covers
rear 5 covers we are selling for near on 1/2 price as the bleed nipple fouls the starter motor bolt
this is easily overcome by using a bucket head bolt and reversing the bolt in the hole which requires a custom thick washer
these covers will be supplied with the necessary bolt, custom washer and nut, all in stainless
can also supply braided lines, pistons, dust covers, etc
contact us direct for prices

Nice nice, do you do a cable conversion for them?

installed our first Redax hydraulic clutch cover onto a 750 yesterday, I had conned Jimmy into setting one up on his SFC replica as I needed to see if it would fit
this bike was originally a SF3 so has the cross over linkage on it which caused some clearance issues, nothing that could not be fixed with a tyre lever and a rotary burr
but in general, was a trouble free installation
come time to bleed it and the lads were pumping and pumping that lever saying it would not bleed up, they eventually realized that what they were feeling was actually the clutch working, clutch action is that light they did not recognize it, was good for a laugh
looking like a flash Replica now
