Just saw this - not sure if you're still interested a year later HardCharger, but one improvement is to install a 1/2" rear master cylinder in place of the OEM 14mm unit.
Kawasaki's are a good source for replacement & readily available on E-Bay for typically less than $25 - note that many of the Kwackers are 'though' hole mounts as opposed to threaded holes, like the OEM Triumph part - however the EX500 (86- current) are threaded as are the latest '06 636 units. Even if you get a "through hole" item, you can just replace the OEM with longer bolts & nuts (but why not get something plug n play?)
There is also an alternative fix for an alternative longer clevis pin bracket but this (from reports) is not necessarily a better fix & not currently available. There is a 'sign-up' list on T595.net to see if the designer/fabricator Jeff Spencer will do another manufacturing run.

I just received my 'new' M/C (for $26 shipped!) and will probably be content with that.
Update - well maybe a little too good to be true - the EX-500 M/C does indeed have threaded holes but they are offset less from the cylinder than the OEM Triumph holes. So maybe have to settle for the through holes models after-all. I'll keep searching though!
