I've used one, but if you need it and he can't supply, you are welcome to my spare for the same price that I bought it for.
The clutch (with the new pushrod fitted) is the best that it's ever been!

The measurements on the USA site in 2011 are wrong, a 9.5mm rod doesn't fit in to a 8mm hole ;)

pushrods.well worth the money. Fits perfectly. It would take hours to make.not worth struggling unless you have a lathe and lots of time.

Worth a try......and if somebody gets it right there may be a bit of business to be had with Forum Members.

Has Trigger got any left? How much are they please?
Peter.
I am out of stock at the moment and don't have the time to make any at the moment. If you PM flatfour, he may still have one.

I've sourced some Stainless 8mm diameter rod and am going to make a few up.
Thanks for your replies.

That makes sense then because whoever ran my bike last left the chain so loose you could almost lift it off the front sprocket without slackening off the rear wheel!

Stainless is too soft, I know as I made 5 that all failed QC ;)

Okay, they didn't pass QC, did they break in operation though?
No they bent. You need to harden the ends, so stainless is useless.

I made one about 3ish years back out of stainless....when my bike ate the chain gaurd and fubard the clutch rod and cinch,
It's been fine but today I was out at wheels day in aldershot and the adjustment on my clutch was getting lower and lower ....until it was pretty much lever to grip biting point....
Luckily I had bought a spare genuine one back some time ago and was luckily enough able to find it and pop it in
But here's the one I made up all mushroomed on the end causing the dramatic disappearing clutch issue....
