Default Rod ends clutch linkage

Has anyone made their own. I know Speed Direct has it but I would like to modify it by putting the rod end directly into the clutch fork as I see a few here have done. This means I need a longer lower rod than speed direct includes since they use that bracket. That rod would be easy to find, but what about the upper rod with the bend in it. Does anybody know where to get something like that and the rod end sizes on that. Thanks,

Bill

I am unclear as to what you are after. This is what I did with the speed direct components and the clutch fork. Have no answer about the upper rod, as I used their's. What about the design are you hoping to improve?.
