Hi Richard,

you can look for this on Amazon
Kweiny Motorcycle Hydraulic Clutch and Brake Slave Cylinder (Large Flow Model)

or Ebay
Motorcycle Modified Hydraulic Clutch Cable Brake Pump Cylinder ZSDTRP

you cab search for : Motorcycle Hydraulic Clutch Cylinder

this is how it look on the bike

I looked into fitting a hydraulic clutch on my ZG (same fuel injected engine as your Voyager) about 10 years ago, as you've probably found it's not easy to fit a slave on the outer cover as you can with the carb models as the casing isn't parallel. I then started looking at the same type of slave as you've used but couldn't find one with a long enough stroke. as the actuating lever on our bikes has a longer stroke than the carb models. But it looks like you've found one with a long enough stroke

This work great on my CBR
I didn't test yet on this bike but I really hope it will work
we will know in few weeks when I can ride it
I will make sure to update

Hey. Thanks for posting that - considering this option myself. As shown in your picture, the hose droops a bit before it head up towards the handle bards. On the regular clutch cable, moisture accumulates in that 'droop' and causes the cable/jacket to corrode - I have to lube mine several times a season to keep the corrosion at bay so the cable 'pull' will be smooth.

What did you use for a master cylinder (sorry if you've posted that already - I didn't see it.

Also curious how you determined the length of the hydraulic hose you needed - did you used the OEM outer cable length as a guide?
