Cheers Blair, I've never been any further into my clutch than changing plates and springs so I have no idea where/how that fits?

its in the middle of the clutch , easy enough change but im not sure itl fit yours?
that will make it smoother , but not any easier, load wise,

gran, hydraulic, properly done is the only way, iv changed a few over for people mildly disabled, made the clutch a LOT easier..
if others say it made no difference, they haven't had the correct set up,
however, the correct set up is trial and error, but not as dear as you think if you use second hand parts...
and itl keep you on the road ,

Well I may think abiout it again when Gertie's back on the road, but as I said somewhere else - the creaky old bones don't like me to ride too far now, so it may be that the clutch will be the least of my problems!

If you`re using the golf club method of gear changing why not change to a foot clutch? If the left leg ain`t up to it you could put the clutch on the right along with the rear brake or integrate the brakes to run off the front lever, using a slave cylinder. Grin Grin Grin Grin

I'm really grateful for all the suggestions but believe me they've all been discussed!  Trouble is, I have arthritis everywhere and changing things around just puts more pressure on another bit of me which is likely to react by seizing up - truly, the answer is just not to ride so far!
