The solution is to go hydraulic. I did 42 years ago.

Okay, found the perfect route, but I need a cable 4'' shorter than an S series cable! Surprising how much "stiction" there is in a simple blend, even with a mild radius...! I had a Hydro. clutch on my GPZ900R, Jim, but that had a bit more room for the "furniture"!! Bit of dry graphite lube, bit of adjustment, we'll get there!

NEVER had a bit of trouble with stock street bike H2 clutch cable, routed correctly, even with 5 Barnett springs and stock 6 run plastic release.
