Thanks for the mention Hal.

Joe, you will benefit in both the clutch and brake by going to a 3/4"  
conversion. Everyone who has made the move to 3/4" has been very  
satisfied with the improvement in brake feel and clutch performance.  
I've never encountered any complaints with 3/4" master combined with  
7/8" slave, which seem to be the most common combination, but I'n sure  
many are matched with the 1" also. Which slave are you using? 7/8" or  
1"? Do you have the right length pushrod at the slave and are you sure  
all the air is out of the system?

Here is the direct link.
