I'm about to install a new clutch cable, but have one question that I couldn't find the answer to in the archives:

Is it safe to remove the bolt that secures the metal clasp that secures the clutch cable to the right-hand side of the tie bar assembly? I'm concerned that if i remove that bolt, the engine may fall a bit.

does the tie bar assembly support the weight of the engine?

It'll be OK.
Nothing will happen.

Looks familiar?

Thanks Glitch.

That top triple looks Badd-A$$! Nice call on painting it.

Thanks, still getting used to how different everything is, but so far I like it a lot.
How much shorter is the R clutch cable?

I'm not sure. It's hard to say now that the new one is on. But I'd say a 2-4 inches?

Take care screwing the cable into the primary cover, it is easy to over tighten and break.
