I hope the comment from David Siddall below helps.
GOO did the same on the prototype. A longer high tensile M6 would achieve the same more easily. Better still if you then add extra spacer/lock nuts to create a stiffer section over the exposed threaded length.

The adjustment on the servo pushrod is not quite long enough with the m/c that I have, so I turned a suitable radius on a 25 mm length of 10mm diameter rod and put m6 thread into it which screws into the end of the servo pushrod.* This brought the end of the pushrod just flush with m/c face of the adaptor plate which is where the metro pushrod was.
I'm happy with the adaptor plate that you've already sent**: studs welded in and a coat of hammerite and it looks fine.
I hope you are as pleased when you get to fit yours...................thanks once again. Regards David. ]
* GOO has prepared exactly the same for his Sportster as par6t of his evening classes ( - and very kindly one for me too.)
** I gave David one of the first prototype adaptor plates designed for the Duksville servo, so the vacuum elbow was slightly out of place.
I have asked David to give us a more extensive report when he has had the chance to go out on the road and test it more fully.
But re-inforces GOO's comments...............................
