[QUOTE="delboy, post: 145802, member: 3596"] Hi Norman, The post-war 500 clutch pushrod is a one-piece 1/4" silver steel rod. I have never had a problem with it being one piece or heard it mentioned as a general problem on the 500's pre- or post-war. My book of notes on post-war clutch pushrods says:- Ron Kemp- 11.1/4" Ed Stevens- 11.3/8" not 11.5/8" Know thy Beast - 11.3/8" long or 2 x 5.9/16" and a 1/4" roller. Robin [Blackwell I guess?] -11.1/4", cut in half and 2 x 1/4" x 5/16" rollers. Clearly originally they fitted them with a finite length, but we're some years away from that now. A dogs breakfast, depending on the number of clutch plates and lots of other variables, I just make the pushrod to suit the individual bike. I'd just send the kit out with an explanation to replace or trim the clutch pushrod to length and re-harden. Hope that's of some help. Delboy. [/QUOTE]
