    I don't think you'll have much luck with a delay box without a slider and bars...

    i dont believe he uses a button on his bike, but i've seen a couple bikes he's setup with the gen2 clutches and a button, they work good.

    Yes,

    MPS makes an air clutch for sport bikes with hydraulic clutch systems. It is activated by a button and has an adjustable air bled to set the release speed.

    Tricky for a no bar bike but with some patience you can make it work.

    You are asking for the world with that one. You are looking at two totally different set ups. You dont leave a street light like you are at the drag strip I hope. With a slider and no bar it can be done. If anyone has PROOF of sucessfully doing it with an air clutch and no bar I would like to see it.

    mps air release connected to a Biondo Little wizard. thru your stock clutch or a multistage lock up. easy as pie - cause if you are in a class that will allow you a delay box odds are you can have any electronic gadget under the sun; like a 2step, timing retard, or traction/wheelie control, and even an automatic shifting device.

    nothing like letting go of the button on the top light and holding the throttle wide open (or at a set RPM) and waiting for the bike to take off when it says so not when you do.. that delay is a very cool span of time-once you get used to it.
