anyone run the "rekluse" 2 finger clutch / master

GP tech senT me this part to try out, It looks cool, but I was just wondering if anyone else tried, or runs it.

It's Basically A Master/perch/lever/reservoir for your handbrake.

You take off the reservoir cover and this 2 finger lever bolts to the reservoir.

Here's a pic. I just need to go get some brake fluid and pads before I get to work on this.

I also have a brembo master for the hanbrake, so I think i want to install that first and then see how the recluse works.


It looks really cool, but im hoping the master works well and that there's enough leverage to work the clutch.

Re: anyone run the "rekluse" 2 finger clutch / master

Awesome idea. I was gonna have a clutch perch welded to a master back in the day. Then i started thinking about all that could happen if it broke in different situations. But if that one is solid there will be alot of money made....

Better/more pics would be good.

Re: anyone run the "rekluse" 2 finger clutch / master

Great idea but it would have to be a good radial style master with a ez pull lever for me to spend money on it.....That doesnt look to be any closer together or easier to work with then my current setup so I cant see a real need for that, especially if its going to be expensive...

Re: anyone run the "rekluse" 2 finger clutch / master

damn, that's tight. it looks close enough that HB coasters wouldn't be a problem.


JohnnyP, I don't know about up there, but there are a few people having problems here with getting a good mounting for both clutch and hb master. this could solve their problem

I'll probably work on it later and try it tomorrow

as long as the master works as well as any other, and you can pull the clutch like butter this will be awesome.

Is that a Magura clutch master? It looks gnarly but, If it is a Magura clutch master like on the KTM dirt bikes, make DAMMMMNNNNN sure it doesn't say "mineral oil only" on the lid!!! Or I'll bet you'll have a real bad day in the future.

It looks small but i've used a similar one about 3 years ago. It takes more movement to make it lock up but the smaller bore makes for great feel. and it looks like it has plenty of adjustment for some fine tuning.

No doubt I hear ya on that one about the mounting, but what good is a great fitting clutch and HB if the master sucks *** power wise and the clutch is hard to pull

If this thing bolted onto a radial perch like the Brembo's or even stock GSXR radials and was an EZ pull clutch Id buy it for sure. But from the pics I get the impression thats a hard *** lever to pull, and a weak master.....

Something thats made of billet has an EZ pull and bolts onto the perch of a radial style master would be the **** IMO....

+1 that looks like the pull would be really hard

Re: anyone run the "rekluse" 2 finger clutch / master

cost and availability of the replacement levers is also an option to think about
