Cable or Hydraulic Clutch

How kind of you, sir...

The original poster cross posted his enquiry to rec.motorcycles.harley
and rec.motorcycles.tech and never responded to any message of
advice...

Given the argumentative nature of the owners of certain brands of
motorsickles, the thread could live forever, it might grow to hundreds
of messages in length as the trolls and flamers and users who are weeks
behind in their important task of monitoring all their Usenet NG's try
to catch up with short sarcastic remarks...

I never advised using either cable or hydraulic.

Krusty will never backup his claim that "Hydraulic clutches have better
pressure ratios, that's why they are used on a lot of motorbikes..."

He can only drone on with repetitive descriptions of small master
cylinders and large slave cylinders. If you're impressed by that, so be it!

 

Perhaps this is a rash assumption, but isn't it the case that varying
the pressure ratio in a cable clutch requires changing the radius of a
rotating arm while changing the ratio in a hydraulic system requires
changing the diameter of a piston? If this is the case, then it seems
like the hydraulic system would be more flexible in choice of ratios
because a large-diameter piston is not particularly constrained by
engine-size limits while a large-radius throwout arm might very well be.

If I'm misunderstanding things I'm sure someone here will set me
straight.

 

Pistons, arms, ball-&-ramps, they're all junk.

rricciardi should use a system of compound pulleys.

 

Sorry Everyone but I was out ot town and not able to connect to check
my replies. Thanks for all the input.
I am leaning towards hydraulic cause I am planning on running the line
inside the frame for a cleaner look. I just want to make sure that I
don't sacrafice function for a clean look.
