hydraulic clutch conversion

i bought a fzr 1000 clutch slave cylinder off eBay and then made brackets for it, and had to grind a little bit of the lip off of the slave cylinder as seen in the picture below. then bought a gsx steal braided hydraulic  line and i cant remember what bike the master cylinder came off of. ill have to post that the next time i post.
    i got it put together the first time and the 1989 slave cylinder i got off ebay was leaking and needed to be rebuilt, so i rebuilt it and then i realized that even though it seemed secured, the brackets i made kept moving when i  pushed in the clutch. so it had to be modified further, eventually i got it working good. Now that its done i think that only thing i gained was that i don't have to worry about my cable binding, because of my clip on bars. it takes about the same amount of pressure to engage the clutch and i think i actuality added more weight to the bike. hear are some pictures of the first mounting hardware. ill post some more pictures of the modified mounting brackets.
