09-15-2010, 02:35 AMLao Jia Huo, I think you've got the makings of a real product there. Felix is well positioned to do the development once he takes up the new position with LELO in Shanghai.
There are risks, however. Get the voltage wrong and stimulate too much vibration, and this could create certain public health hazards. I can imagine Felix riding down the streets of the French concession...
Imagine the uproar!!jkp

Lao jia hou, you just made my day! I love your idea and the product picture just sells it! Perhaps a cable connecting the throttle to a variator on the mirrors would ensure that the vibrations are always in sync.
I wonder what other product cross-overs haven't been invented yet. Do i hear 20cc 2-stroke vibrator anyone? There's a pun in there somewhere with the word stroke...

It is well known that the CJ 750 has appalling brakes. Braking distances are such that on a biking holiday i'll usually start braking mid-way through the trip in order to arrive home safely a couple of days later. I've often thought of adding disc brakes but, to me, part of the appeal of the CJ are the levers which swing in from the outside of the bars; i refuse to lose those merely for the sake of safety. Recently though i saw this on a CJ in shanghai. It's a bit dirty but it seems to work! The cable is short enough that stretch shouldn't be an issue.
I'm currently getting one installed on my CJ, i'll report back here when it's done and tested!

11-10-2010, 05:03 AMWe are now installing a disc front brake on the CJ 750 using an under tank master cylinder so the original reverse style levers are retained.

Hi Jimbo, thanks for the reply!
How are you connecting the original lever to the master cylinder under the tank? If it's by cable, are you not worried that the length required will result in stretching and a spongy feel at the lever?
I figured the solution above uses the shortest possible length of cable and might have a more direct feel. Please share your expert opinion!

11-10-2010, 07:43 AMthis short-cable approach looks brilliant, except for all the rust! should give a very positive pull.

11-17-2010, 12:42 PMHi Felix,
Well "expert Opinion" I don't know about that. But when you look at the length of the stock front brake cable it is about twice as long as the cable to the under tank MC. Plus pushing fluid doesn't require as much force as pulling a brake lever on the hub. I don't think a stretching cable is going to be a problem with it.
Regds,

Felix, here's a networking opportunity ...
If you get bored with China you could probably merge your design experience with your motorcycling experience in India. It could also be "something more interesting came up."
I wonder if the headlight is HID? (High Intensity Discharge)

Great, another tasteful addition to the diverse world of motorcycles! I love the hot couple standing behind it.
Looking at that now, i'm thinking that actually having a little light on the top of a condom would be great fun!
