I'm not sure if this goes in this section but oh well. I'm in the middle of installing my new Magura Hydraulic Clutch and I'm stuck - it didn't come with directions and I can't figure out how the darn thing connects to the engine(I know thats not the official term) where the old cable was. If anyone who has one would kindly help a poor sap out and post a detailed description of how it connects I would greatly apprectiate it. And if anyone could possibly take a closeup picture of where it attaches that would help out tenfold.

THAT IS PERFECT - THANK YOU, I know my problem. I don't have the right mounting bracket. The black mounting bracket - did that come with the clutch. Cause if it did thats what I need - if thats the problem where can I get it. Should I try to contact Magura and get one or what?

Does the hydraulic line go by the header like the cable does? :confused:

no, it will melt it if you route it like the stock one. you have to route it around differently...see pic...

I decided to get one because me and my friends have a habit of going on a friday and camping out. Then waking up on saterday sometime around 6 and riding straight through until 7 at night when we leave. Lets just say it was taking a toll on my left forarm so I found one on ebay and bought it. I just went riding with it over labor day and I absolutly loved it - One finger pulls all day long and installation only took 15 minutes.
