Yes, that is exactly where I was going with it.
Of course, that adds one more machine process, and that adds money.
My original adapter was much more elaborate and would look really cool but it would be much more expensive so I have done everything I can think of to make it as cheap as possible yet still acceptable for aesthetics.
Again, trying to find the balance with cost conscious riders in mind.

mr. sandblaster..
you do really great work with this project.. :-)
but this are all facts, that i not can see only from the pics.. only you are the man with the parts in hands. and only you could figure out, what will work best with it. i can only help a little bit with my logical thinking :wink:
and 100% agreed is : cheapest and easiest solution at this point is bending the brake lever .. :-)

the only thing about machining the cover, if you ever broke one you would have to machine it as well. If it was me I would take the most difficult route and bend the lever a little :wink:

we could write a big book of pros and cons between mashining the cover or bending the lever. the fact is to find the compromise between, to hold the costs on an acceptable level... 8-)

Ok, this shows the new clearance.
This time I bolted the inner clutch cover down.
Yesterday, I had it sitting loosely on the engine (Mistake).
I also took Foxx4Beaver's advice and put a small O-Ring behind the rear brake lever which helps push the lever further from the case.
Even if you push the brake lever as far as you can toward the engine, it still does not hit.
So, I am happy with the results and will have my adapter welded to the inner clutch cover.
