Our customer was building a “vintage/kustom” style Harley. The modern Hawg Halters look was all wrong for the Kustom Tech style he wanted. The task was to give the master cylinders a facelift in the spirit of “Kustom Tek”.
To get the result we wanted. The plan was to make new levers and master cylinder covers to match the K.T. look. The customers bike requires a hydraulic clutch and K.T. does not offer a hydraulic clutch master cylinder.
HHI components compared to new GC made parts
While the final parts were to be Brass. I made the initial set from aluminum. A few redesigns later and the look, feel and operation were all correct. The finalized programs were used to cut the parts from Brass. I scuffed the polished HHI master cylinder bodies and polished the Brass parts.
