VPC AND ME
« on: February 12, 2009, 09:39:30 AM »

This has not been brought up in awhile so I tought I would though it out again. I just installed a VPC 83T I had used on many other bikes and checked with Hippo to make sure it would work on the 09 SERG 110". Got the OK from him and installed it. First time I have owned a hydrolic clutch so did not know what to exspect. WOW lever pull seemed to drop by half, no more sore old hand. This is a great investment for the people that have bad hands, or want an easy pull clutch.  Doc

Is that a reference to the "no more sore hand" part?

That's actually good data to keep in the back of one's mind Doc.  Clutch may not be a problem for my hands now.  Doesn't mean it won't be someday :2vrolijk_21:

Not only that, but the lock up allows you to run a higher hp motor with out getting a new massive clutch to hold it, it's about a third the price.  :2vrolijk_21:

I run the VPC also...  It is a good piece, easy installation, and does reduce the clutch pull significantly.... 3 fingers can do the work of 4!!!   :2vrolijk_21:

Did it again.  Damn.  Wrote a perfectly good post and had to remove it before anyone else could see it.  No sense in letting anyone else have the satisfaction of yanking it after all :drink: .

Dang I missed it, and then it was gone.

I also run the VPC, but it is the 92T in the roadking.   Pull is slightly diminished, but not a major change.   

I will most likely be putting one on the Cherry if I keep it.   Been debating on project MKII or 09 Silver Road Glide using Cherry as trade in /hate the 110 love the new ride / frame.
