You should love it I got the full throw of the entire clutch

You are right about having to hand fit the cable end to fit the original lever cable adjuster. I just took the metal end off, and slid the cable housing in the adjuster. I ride a 1971 Bultaco Pursang 350 with AMAL levers and the thread pitch was different on my set up so I couldn't swap them like you suggested. I found that this thing dropped the pull weight by about 20 percent. A help but not quite one finger for me anyway. It did take quite a bit of fiddling with the cable adjustments to get it to fully release but not slip either. Clutch lever movement increased for the amount of movement at the actuator lever on the engine. My bike already had the actuator lever extended 1/2". These bikes have a tough clutch, as you aren't going to be using it as much on an MX track, but I am trail riding this vintage bike. 58 and a replacement hip on a MX track would be an unnecessary risk. I was thinking about trying one of the cheap hydraulic setups you see on ebay and amazon. Have you tried one of those? Great video as usual Vegas! Thanks for posting it.

I was watching your 10 mods for your 250fx and you pointed out the risk of the long exhaust bracket bolts crashing into the engine case and damaging it. So I shortened the bolts on my 250fx to eliminate that risk. Thanks for the tip!!
