Starting to install the panels and some exterior items. Has any one used the Clutch slave cylinder from Modern Driveline. Wonder if it would work? Starting to get going on building and engine. Hope to install motor early next year. Fingers crossed...

Looking good. First thing - I don't know anything about the push from the rear type of slave setup. Your fork pivots on the right side of the bellhousing - right? It looks suspiciously to me like you have less mechanical leverage with that type of set up and would need a slave with more than the usual 1 inch +/- stroke. I would think that the pivot should also be shimmed a little forward to move the left side of the fork back towards the slave cylinder a little more so that there is plenty of room for fork travel without hitting the front of the fork opening in the bellhousing.

But - I don't really know anything about this type of set up.
