Hi there
Long time lurker,time to chip in
I have recently fitted an Oberon to my DB4 and it definitely makes the leverage alot more lighter.
On the recommendation of 2bims 👍 as earlier on this year I had a Muppet moment and tried to ride a 2 wheel contraption, called a hoverboard 😱
It did not go well, 2 broken ribs and a broken wrist.
Slowly back on the road to recovery,plenty of home physio via you tube.
Hence the fitting of the Oberon, a nice shiney gold one, a bit of bling.
Doddle to fit and bleed.
Photos to add well! that's another hurdle I'll have to try and get over 🤔
Keep safe
Mike |

Time to lift your game a bit then Mike.... been a member since 2015 and 39 posts... you're doing better than a lot of lurkers though I must admit .
Does the gold Oberon slave look ok on the DB4? _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

It looks pretty damn good,but the lighter clutch pull is the main consideration to overcome my ailment 👍
I'll try to get photo up if I can recall how to 🤔 |

That’s what I was thinking too Stu
There’s a few other splashes of gold on the DB4’s.... fork tops, rotor carriers, callipers _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |

Unfortunately my DB2 only has the 400ss engine in it, otherwise I’d be able to buy 3 different coloured slaves
I probably shouldn’t say ‘unfortunately’.... I quite like the rarity of the Junior, and who knows it might even surprise me as I haven’t ridden it as yet _________________ '99 DB4 #104, '96 SB6 #1165, '94 DB2 J #652, '99 DB4 #088, '08 VTX1800, '93 ZXR750R M1, '95 ZXR750, '95 ZXR750 Race Bike, '94 CBR400rr NC29 Race Bike, '94 CB250, '49 BSA C10 250, '61 BSA A10 650, '89 ZXR750, '91 Ducati 851 |
