    Cables break, burn or stretch, hydraulic is slow on the return. I used the factory z-bar after putting a 1" spacer between the bellhousing and fork pivot.

    none of my hydraulic clutch conversions have been slow on the return. i run 1/4" hard line directly from the master cylinder to the slave cylinder and its the best feel ive ever had from any clutch set up ive driven.
