I had metioned the same thing to mrfreeze5 and he said NO... Cheap is not always better and when he got a whole set up for $40... just keep your eyes open ducati, yzf 750, and fzr 1000 are good they told me.

Itll work great for the first week until the master cylinder starts leaking. Youll still need a Ducati slave cylinder, youll still need an adapter plate, and the piston in the master cylinder probably wont be the right size. And who knows if the hose is the right length?

You can still do a hydro clutch swap cheap, but with different parts. Youll find better quality parts buying used. If you really want to get technical, I could have a hydro clutch setup on my bike for $40 total using all the Ducati stuff I have(brembo MC, steel braided line, brembo slave), but I opted for nicer parts and have an expensive master cylinder and real, quality billet lever. But it can be done on the cheap, but dont trust any of that chinese shit on ebay, at least not if you ride the bike, if its just for looks then knock yourself out.

Dont worry, as soon as my slave plate gets here and I have a halfway decent day outside, Ill do a write-up.

I'm can't get it even if they would give it for free. And now after you guys told me i wouldn't take it even if it would me near me. Which is the cheapest way to build a hydraulic clutch? I was thinking about smth like a rear caliper and rear brake MC.
