Hey everyone, this is my first thread here. Looks like a great forum. Just got the above mentioned bike about 2 weeks ago and am having fun riding and exploring a few possible modifications.
As the title suggests I'd like to replace the clutch arm with a longer one in order to get a wider friction zone. I have a lot of slop in the cable right now which helps by bringing the engagement closer to the handle, but I would still like to go this extra step if possible.
I've been reading quite a bit online looking for options, and the only solution I have found is one that someone named KillerNoodle over at sportbikes.net used to make.

This looks perfect, but he has not been active on the forum for what looks to be over a year now so I doubt I would be able to get ahold of him, or that he is still making these.
Can anyone point me in the direction of a similar item? One like what he made with multiple mounting holes would work, or if there is one out there thats made for another bike with the same spline pattern but a longer arm that would work too. I don't care about the adjustability, just more leverage and engagement control.
Also, in the 2nd thread he made he mentions modifying the bracket that holds the end of the cable housing in place so that it is aimed in the right direction for the new longer arm so the cable doesnt rub excessively against the housing. I can probably tackle this on my own, but if a package deal exists including the arm and said bracket I'd be very interested in that.
I know this topic has been visited many times, but I have not found any solutions except KillerNoodle's, and he looks to be out of the custom part making business.
Thanks a lot to anyone who can help!
