It's interesting why the Honda clutch is so troublesome. I have tried the clutch on a CR72 and it is very light in operation. It uses a bellcrank lever instead of the screw-type lifter that we are familiar with.
My Triumph 955 clutch is also similar in dimensions and design to the Honda clutches but really light in operation at the lever while being able to handle 5x the torque.
It seems like there is room for development with the Honda clutch.

I have many new steels in many different thickness to work with , trying to get a good grip without having to have the hands of a monster to pull the lever in . I am going to try to a thick steel base plate 2.60 mm and then alternate with the 5 frictions and steels but much thinner on the remaining steels.
