    Ordered the last few components for this this morning. Clutch braided line from Hel, Lithium battery and brand new OEM clutch plates and friction plates. Plus a few bits of bling for the clutch cover.

    Hydraulic Clutch Conversion finished.

      @NINJA Cheers bud, there won't be any bolts that will protrude through the adapter plate. I've got some titanium bolts ordered for it. The other thing that will protrude will be the pushrod, and that will stop the clutch from smashing into the cover.

        It's done, lock this thread down The Helios Project is finished.

        I took a small video to show anyone who is interested of the Hydraulic Clutch in action.

        Not sure, but @NINJA Wanted to see the clutch perch for the Hydraulic system.

        That's it bolted to the engine.

        Back on the green for a few more snaps in all its armor!

            @NINJA Yeah, sun was definitely out in force today. No doubt winter is coming though. Doubt this bike will see the road this year.

                @NINJA Can't say I am really that bothered to be fair. It's been so long since I've ridden a bike that I've forgotten the thrill. My DT died January 2014. So that's well over 4 years of not having a vehicle. Knowing my luck, the bike will probably shit itself the first time it hits the powerband anyhow.

                        @NINJA Coolant, Oil and Fuel.

                        There is a bleed nipple at the top of the radiator. But I ran out of coolant to top it up with.
                        The fuel tap I bought from PJME is a load of wank. Just pisses out.
                        And I've lost the gear lever shaft oil seal. So it's leaking from there.

                        Everything is all ordered up for it though. Next week it should be finished.

                            @NINJA It's not an O-ring. It's the actual nitrite seal on the shaft.

                                To be fair, you have this engine you should have known....

                                It's annoying, I know I've ordered it, just can't think what I've done with it!

                                    @NINJA Sorry, I was only messing bud. I don't know what I'm doing half the time.

                                    I went to start the bike and the horn went off lol. I accidently wired up the horn to the starter motor LMAO!

                                    I was mega confused as I don't understand why the horn needed these really beefed up cables lol.

                                          @declan Sold the GoPro around the time I stripped the DT Lol. Wouldn't mind getting another one, but then again it's just painting a target for yourself. Often you feel more inclined to do less than legal things.

                                          Also thanks. Once I got the horn and starter motor around the right way, bike fired up no problems. Was amazed really!
