Title: Gonzo Mechanics INC - Clutch
Post by: davidboda46 on January 23, 2016, 03:58:16 PM
Happy to report that Gonzo Mechanics INC successfully incorporated its Gonzo clutch solution to the Gonzo DIY Motorcycle Control Rig. Sadly the test rider also reports that muscle memory is a bitch, and that he now is 10 seconds per lap slower than before (quick shifting is nice). Still, he won't give up in trying to reach the previous level with the new system. Another drawback of the clutch solution is that the test rider can't look left or right anymore (watch out if you see him coming from the side). Hopefully that will not be an issue when financial circumstances allows for an ED-tracker upgrade. In other news, you can check out our other prototype products below.

Cheers,

I call it artistic wiring! ;) But on the plus side, it is easy to repair when it's out in the open.  ;D
