I know what it is for, as I fitted it in 1991. I think I got it off a brit bike and it was fitted after I had a serious accident to my left arm/hand to make it easier to pull the clutch in. Sold that bike in 2004.

They are square.

Gotcha. I see what you mean now I've had chance to compare some pics. Agreed, doesn't look right now I know.

Every day's an education, eh?  ;)

Nothing to do with any boats, it was a 42 ton truck that ran me over and put the brakes on when the tractor wheels were on my arm.

Paul check your cable routing if everything is new and it's still heavy, surprising just how much the routing affects the clutch feel.

Front mudguard looks like a Yamaha one from the 80s to me.

Oddjob,

Will do

Think I should double-check mine is correct too. Operation is way better than it was but still feels a bit heavy.
Best diagram I have found showing routing is on page 16 of the CB400 Setup Manual (in the usual Dropbox).

I was rather referring to the notion that just about every SOHC to pass through the market seems to have had your hand on it in some way or other... ;)
