I sure would hope that a 500-lb bike had a big fuel tank

Hydro clutch. Clutch to start. Choke on a fucking FI bike. Body work is ugly.

I had a hydraulic clutch on my Aprilia, I thought it was nice & smooth

Of course it constantly leaked down near the slave cylinder.

Black is the plan... fuckin' ripping out the hydro clutch and putting a fucking cable in place is also on the list. I just like the feel of the cabled clutch... the hydro, I feel nothing.
