Think of how a rocker arm works on a stud, the ball on the slot allow the rocker arm to work in an arc with the stud works in a linear motion (I know the stud does not actually move, but the forces of the stud are linear into the head. Hope you get the idea that I am trying to convey...)
You're exactly right and that did come across the table. I'm apprehensive to do that because if it doesn't work out then I will need to swap the fork out and I don't want to pull the tranny. Me playing on the safe side of that is the only reason why I haven't gone that route.

I have a heim on each end right now and it seems to work well in operation, just need to tweak it a little bit to shorten the slave cylinder as it's not disengaging right now. Easy fix, just ran out of time last night is all. Hoping to romp it to work in the morning and take my brother for a ride tomorrow evening!
