Hi
Thought you might be interested, google American Dirt Bike they sell a magura hydraulic clutch control that works great on the Rotax 500! I put it on my Country see pic.

It has a compression release lever perch built in, also threaded boss for mirrors (gotta ask for this stuff).
The clutch lever is a little shorter than the stocker, a little bit of clearance issue w/ light switch but I suspect Magura has a longer one. I'm using non-stock light/turn signal switch also smaller than stock so no problem.
You can see the slave in that pic above, not much to it, just replaces the clutch cable.
American dirtbike says you have to remove the clutch cover to install, which would be a pain but I just hooked it in like a new cable took about 15 minutes. Be sure to seal hole where slave goes into cover mine leaks a little oil there now at "high" speed.

this spot leaks on most rotax engines at this spot with the standard cable
