It is definitely a rod on the slave cylinder....I went to the sight, clicked on the picture, saved it to my harddrive, then opened it with my photo program and zoomed it in real close.......it's a rod, not a cable. As for the ease of pull, that's not the real reason for wanting one, it's the 'never brake another cable' reason that I thought about getting one. So far, I assume that no one has tried one on a Loop? I guess it might look a bit funky since the lever handle looks nothing like the original cable pull....

I was also looking at the Hydro conversion, but my only fear would be breaking the small cable that goes from the slave cyl to the chutch arm. How would you get one of those ? Most of the cable brakes I have seen have been at the lever end though. I guess if you put on a rubber cable boot, it should be ok.

With all the talk on here concerning clutches, I took some time to check out MG Cycle's page and see the RAM clutch and read what it has to offer. While looking at the site, I also saw the "Hydraulic Clutch Conversion" kit that they sell. My question is, has anyone on the list ever used this on a Loop? With the RAM clutch? Any suggestions? I will be replacing my clutch before the spring, and I'm thinking that it might be a good idea to do the hydraulic conversion too, after breaking a clutch cable about twenty miles from Vintage Days last summer and limping in clutchless......((thank goodness it was to a place that finding a new cable wasn't a problem!))
