I've been thinking for a long time that it would be great to have a hydraulic clutch conversion kit for the H2. Were you able to modify existing parts to create your system or did you have parts specially made for this application?
Back then I made the slave cylinder on the lathe, and modified a stock master cylinder to work on the left. In recent years I found that Magura makes nice clutch master cylinders, so I got a 9.5mm from them. The piston diameter is better for this application than the larger stock one.
One of the guys on the Canadian triples board now makes batches of slave cylinders and sells them at a reasonable price.
My reason for going hydraulic was that Barnett plates swell when you get them hot, and after a couple drag starts I couldn't fully disengage the clutch until it cooled off. The self-adjusting nature of the hydraulic system makes that problem go away. 40+ years later those same Barnett plates are still working as well as they did when new.
