@mavguy
They were manufactured by a german guy, even with the kickstarter hole.
I am in the process of getting one made. I know the guy who do them very well. He does the long shaft for useing the RD400 gears also(which I already have). If you want I can provide you with his contact details.

I just installed one that I bought from fondseca. There's a few pics in the show off section in my magazine shoot thread. Pics are at the end.

So Dxrat, what's the dry clutch like? I've ridden a couple of Ducatis with dry clutches, but never had the opportunity for a back to back comparison on the same machine.

I'll be able to tell you in a couple days hopefully. This has been a nightmare to get going actually. The last issue was my center hub wasn't true so I ordered another one from England. I finally have all the parts to reassemble it but need the time.

Hey Dave,
I would like to start collecting bits to try this myself. Any chance you could start a thread or list what parts are needed and where to source?
Thanks man!

You know what, I contacted Vince at Fondseca and said make me a kit with everything I need. I took the easy way out for once.

Any rough cost estimate? I guess it was a TZ cover and afternarket clutch?
