Clutch engagement, help!

Noob question here. Never thought I'd catch myself asking for help on here, usually I'm the one giving the answers but here I am at your mercy, lol.

My MT has been down for a bit and it's receiving a few new parts including a new clutch lever, cable, and clutch arm.

My problem: something feels off about getting the adjustment right. It just feels way stiffer than it should be. Either it's stiff but I feel like thats where the engagement point is, or I get it where it feels more correct but it seems way too short.

Can anyone post or send me a picture of where their clutch arm at the engine case is static, and where it is when the clutch is fully disengaged? I feel like I'm missing something but I don't know what. My friend's MT's clutch is effortless with his 1FNGR clutch lever. I have a similar lever (Sicshop) and can't get anywhere near that butter feeling without feeling like the clutch isn't engaged. Bike is still apart in other areas so can't take it for a test ride. TIA

Adding grommets to awning wall

Hello everyone, I could use your help.

I have a couple awning walls for my overlanding setup, but the one thing they're lacking is grommets/eyelets on the sides. I work at a graphics place so I have access to a press for both #2 and #3 sizes grommets and press. #2 has small teeth, more like nibs on the washer. The #3 is smooth.

The material for this wall is a thicker ripstop fabric. Just like the grommets that are already there, it makes sense to reinforce these areas prior. I don't have access to a sewing machine so that isn't an option. I'm thinking of using a layer (or two?) of Dacron tape on both sides.

Thoughts?
