Oh yes! This is a labour of love as evidenced by things like that 0.5mm spacer I am a huge fan of rose jointing this linkage, it really improves it over the sloppy feel of the baggy 40year old originals and is a great mini project I reckon. One of the joys of modded bikes that few seem to notice unless youre also a modder of course. The hours spent on this stuff is oh so satisfying! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Defo looks in the pic that tweaking the lever back straighter will help the angle of the pivot a little (not that rose joints really need it). Nice work as ever!

Nice work as ever! Thank you & I will disassemble the linkage to 'encourage' it so as not to stress the mounts etc with it on the bike. Rose joints do give a much better acceptance of being out of alignment I agree. While I'm at it the clutch rumble may be addressed too seeing as it's gear/clutch/neutral related.. Onwards and upwards - are these bikes ever actually done?

They're like a jigsaw puzzle with one bit missing.
