My new lock-up clutch from Ralf Schipmann. 1 finger clutch pull, NO clutch drag (can upshift from neutral to fifth and down again to neutral when standstill) And it looks fantastic through my windowed stock clutch cover. A major improvement vs my old enforced 15 plate clutch with seriously stiff springs to hold my 110 rwNm torque.

It's lighter than a moped clutch. Amazing.

Please describe the feel of how it engages for normal riding, and for drag starts. Also, what was the cost?

I have only tried it 10 minutes on road, as I received the clutch today.

For normal use, i can't feel anything else than the lever is so extremely light pulled. I had one quite hard 1.st gir launch though, and it feels easier than With the old clutch (I struggeled a bit With that using high rpm's in the launch.....either it slipped, or it just engaged hard)

This one seems easier to Control when pushing it.

And the ZERO clutchdrag (this has 16 plates) is just fantastic.

You gotta send the inner hub to ralf, and it is about 600 Euro incl a custom made pusher, New steel plates and New friction plates and the hub Labour.

To be honest: It is a New world

And off course, NO slippage, it takes huge Power. A lot more I Guess, than 99% of the triples has

Very nice Jorgen!
And really not a bad price for such a custom piece of work. AND it looks way cool behind your clutch cover :thumbup:

Update:

The H1 500 clutch is about coming out on the market now. Ralf Gille is trying out 1 of the prototypes these days.
