Thanks for doing that Darkness. Very interesting. I think that will be equivalent to how I measured my backlash as it equates to distance travelled by the tyre. I seem to remember measuring about 50mm using your method, some years ago, the last time I had a little worry about this.

I would agree. It should be possible to work out how much the clutch rotates in relation to the wheel via the gearing. (gear commander perhaps?) So clutch wear will have an exaggerated effect on the rear wheel backlash including everything in between.
