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?

Well, firstly that's most careless and inconsiderate of you to "lose" an important piece of kit like a leg!! however, hydraulic operation, or even pneumatic possibly, with the 'operator' modified from hand control, is probably the most suitable for your purpose....Morrag

Didn't get anywhere with an inline servo but did get the clutch sorted. 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 Wink
