Title: Inline Servo Post by: nabsim on October 05, 2010, 12:52:39 PM I have seen a mention about inline servo's on the Irish BTW forum. Anyone had any dealing with these that could recommend anything for me to look at?
I have got a 1600VW trike now and I am struggling to operate the clutch with my left foot. It has already been converted to hydraulic but I need both hands on the bars to get full movement on the clutch pedal (this is cos I seem to have misplaced my right leg somewhere). Sounds like an inline servo on the clutch may be what I need, I have already been playing about with ratio's and think I am stuck with that now. I do have a hydrailic to cable set up I haven't got round to trying yet but this means the clutch will be on the handlebar and I would prefer foot if possible. Any ideas or recommendations?

In spite of me thinking I had tried all variations on the foot lever it took trikeopath one look at a pic to get it spot on. Just needed to move connection point for push rod clevis an inch and it was just like magic ;)
