[QUOTE="Oldhaven, post: 66194, member: 2879"] Good point Trev On my bike the bar bends in a knuckle about 1 1/2 inches from the left hand bar clamp on the Bramptons. going close to this would put the lever too far from the end of the bar and my hand. Greg, I have 1 1/8th pivots and a thin Amal grip rubber but I can see that the travel of G91/1 is limited by the kickstart cover on slack wire and the abutment on tight wire and the travel that is allowed between those limits. The key is getting it all, and beyond that nothing can be done. Taking the flex out of G91/1 , and the the compression out of the clutch cable will help with the limited adjustment available.. I am afraid I have been away from home quite a bit since my last post and still have not changed out the G91/1 that I show in post #10. I will check for clearance and remove material judiciously from the lever and the clutch cover so as not to make anything more bendy. This new lever is really quite a bit more stout both in depth and width of section and the tip is 1/8" longer at the rod end, so that will give a slightly longer push of the rod in the clutch shaft when used with the new style internal head adjuster. That and filing the plates a bit will be the last things I get done this year, no doubt, since we may get some (hopefully temporary but prophetic) snow this weekend. The other thing I will be doing over winter storage is getting a new linear wound clutch cable as DavidD suggested to me. I will be doing these one at a time and using the dial indicator to see what difference each new thing makes. thanks all, Ron [/QUOTE]
