I felt that clutch pull at TB. It is a bit heavy. The best bang for the buck he will get is this: New cable, new perch if his is worn at all, and to lengthen the actuating arm on the case. There was a thread here a couple weeks ago with links to pictures I put on my site. If he wants me to mod the clutch arm for him, pull it off and mail it to me. I can turn it around in a day. I think I am going to do mine to get away from the lever mods since I have bent my lever about three times now, and bent it back (with heat, of course). I figger she's got about ne more bend in her and it will be all over!
