One other factor to consider...the pushrod that pushes on the M/C piston should push straight-into, or parallel with piston travel. If the pushrod pushes on the piston at an angle, the hydraulic seal at rear of M/C will end-up damaged (and leaking) in very short order. DD
Crap...I guess i can cut it apart and move up the MC mounting plate. The bracket i made is long enough to where the MC can sorta go up behind the cross member a little bit.
