Sam----Those who like the softer feel in their clutch might like the
Sachs, as reported by Nelson in his Buckeyetriumphs.org website.  I like
the B&B with the cranked diaphragm fingers. When all is well, the clutch
should disengage with the pedal about an inch from the floor, using 35
lb. of leg effort. 

You won't find much help in "shimming" the SC closer to the clutch
operating arm, as this is a (self adjusting) hydraulic system. If and
when you change the clutch, test if there's spongy play between the
shaft and fork (pin) Take out the fork pin to verify that it is still in
one piece, then consider adding a second "bolt" thru the fork and shaft.  

Note that a new pin in a oval shaft bore can shorten the pin's life,
which in some cases isn't all that great to begin with.
