The clutch release mod is excellent! I now have a 2-finger clutch that isn't going to cramp my hand anymore. Very good release too. No jump when I go from neutral to 1st and easy to find neutral from 1st or 2nd. I'm happy with the result.
Tell about your clutch release mod . Please.

:hyst: I actually swapped that clamp for a proper size!  It bugged me when I looked at the photo. And even though its under the primary cover, I'd know it was there!  I'm kind of OCD like that. 😂

Yeah, the details would be helpful!  😂
I replaced the short mousetrap eliminator release arm with a foot clutch release arm. It's about 4" longer than the mousetrap eliminator release arm. That required moving the clutch cable purch so it points at the end of the new release arm. I moved it to the inner primary tin.

This mod won't work with all levers. Your lever needs to have enough throw to pull the longer release arm the full distance to get a good clutch release. I reshaped my lever a bit to maximize the throw.
