Had a chance to ride the '86 and '91 back to back.  The '86 clutch lever engages the clutch right off the handle bar  (I kinda like that)  the '91 lever has to be let way out before the clutch engages...wouldn't mind getting that closer to the handle...any way to adjust an hydraulic clutch?

The '86 purr's like a kitten...seems more agile and energetic than the '91...just me or design/weight differences..?

My solution to your dilemma was to install an adjustable clutch master from a Yamaha YZF750 - also used on some other bikes too.  It's made my Nissan and has a larger diameter piston so it has an easier pull.  Bonus - It matches my R1 Brake cylinder.

Simple, stay with the 86'..... looks like an Ambulance but we want them pull over and get the fuck out of the way any how!@!@!!
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

The 86 has a gearing and weight advantage over the 91,  barely noticeable by mere mortals.
