Someone with some design skills and a shop, come up with a "cable" actuated clutch.
I could help with design, but have no good shop capabilities.

You'll get -
Better feel.
No fluid leakage.
Adjustablity.

I did my old FZR1000 with an Attack conversion and my TLR using TLS parts, with a few other modifications.

Hmm, and now you will maybe have a stiffer clutch pull, adjust it, worry about lubing cables and, broken cables.

I know that 1) Hyd clutch actuation feels different from cable operated system. 2) Some systems may leak. 3) Overall they are a lot less problematic (IMHO) than a cable system. Just ask any of the Tuber or early 04-07' XB riders if they would like easier clutch pull?

If you have the time and money, go for it!

Like many others, I've had clutch slave cylinder problems in the past, on different bikes.

No problems have come to pass with a cable system.
Gotta remember, it's not a dirt bike! Lube the cable during assembly, clean and lube the lever pivot once a year...

As for ease of pull....that's a design thing. Unless the pressure plate/springs are from a car...just adjust the lever pivot points to get a nice feel. Ain't rocket science.
