The hydraulic conversion made Jack Shit difference to the force needed to operate my clutch, hence the reason I removed it: it's just a load of unecessary additional complexity. What did make the difference was realising I had 6 heavy duty clutch springs and then replacing 3 of these with stock springs so check your springs out.

Dazza makes a very good point there ref the springs ..most of these bikes have been messed with and the odd part swapped for good or bad.9_9

on the last turbo efe and my 1398 N/A one i ran / run a lock up with 3 stock springs and 3 inner valve springs its a 2 finger pull ....not ideal for every one but works for me :)

on the oil boiler coil spring with "B6 cable conversion" i found out it had the wrong springs in "to strong" again right stock springs and it was better lighter..:tu

I did buy some EBC ones, but it was so bad as  is, i sold em on. Just assumed they were std. They aint green anyway!

My HD springs are the same colour as the OEM ones. You have to compare them side-by-side to tell the difference. HD are longer and the wire is slightly thicker. I actually bought some 'OEM' springs 2nd hand and they turned out to be HD. As D & D says, over the years people fuck about changing them and we don't know half the time what's in there.

You can buy cable on a roll by the metre. I use nylon lined outer and make my own cables. I have 1.5mm for throttles, 2mm for clutch and 2.5mm for brake cable. I use solderless nipples and solder on ones. Even the solderless ones I solder them on once set in the right place. I even make moulds and cast nipples on sometimes. I made a solder cup with a stainless cooking measure and some ally. I got a Venhill bird cage tool at Netley Marsh one year which are expensive but work perfect.
