what's the story with compulsary ABS that's coming to all road bikes from november, how does that effect custom builds?
900fz were around in 1979, if it's to be done this way you'll need proof that it was on the road in a similar modified state back then, otherwise it will need low volume cert, going through the process soon with this, have magazine articles from the day so that will help
I am a bit to young to remember but i never knew that.

I would have thought it would make the process a lot easier by using the original headstock and or frame tube that held the frame number?
Then getting the mods certified, You used to be able to? the big iie was the powers that be used the frame to determine the basis.
I can remember getting a bike registered with no ownership papers it used to require a letter from a JP. Something from the police as well. It was complicated back then.
Do these new rules apply to cars as well?
first two pics it looks like it has an outside arm pivoted in the middle unless its the fin on the cover?
But the other pics suggest a pusher from the other side which looking at some blury pics looks to be hydraulic (middle last pic)
i might need to look at a CBX750 but pretty sure they were hydraulic clutch as was the first VT250 so its period aceptable
Here we go CBX750
But to make it work you might need to use a CBX gearbox maybe cases?
this is a thread comparing it to the newer 750 which has gone back to a cable clutch.....

low certification is not a hard process if the job is done well, the guys who are qualified to do it are clever cunts and able to sort out what will work and not, biggest issue is travelling to them as car certifiers and bike certifiers are different, not sure where the closest bike certifier is to wanganui. using the original headstock would unlikely work as i'd lay money that a gsxr of what's used here and a cb900 from the 70's or eighties is a little different in dimensions. the aim here would be for it to be 'registered' as the motor year build rather than 2019 as rego is a fraction of the cost. the other thing is to consider is the looming ABS implications as i'd mentioned earlier, but I don't know the process there, someone said november so maybe if the build is certified before then it wouldn't be a problem.....
one of the hardest things i've found is the indicators, they must have a system that if one bulb fails that side flashes twice as fast as normal, with leds and modern flashers that's hard, i used motogadget in mine custom and despite being a top line product it didn't do that. again, i don't have to get low a low volume cert for that, and maybe the low volume certifier will turn a blind eye to that but one wouldn't want to get there and find out different.
To go back to the original problem of the clutch arm...Without changing gearboxes etc.
Two solutions come to mind - even without better pics.
I'd think that moving the outer lever arm on the shaft so as to aim the cable inboard and up might work.
The other option could be to reverse the internal cam on the clutch actuating shaft so that the cable pulls downwards - where there is room to work.
we all have X amount of senses, on a bike there are few used that are unique to a bvike ride, the rest is emotions, sound is the most important and the only one fully triggered by riding, electric bikes throw that out of the window.... additioanlly, moving through the gears is part of the ride, take that away and no thanks. I commentated at wanaganui with yoshi kismimoto riding an electric bike, all i said was it sounds like neil ritchies, (the other commentator) hair razor.
