Someone school me on clutch and linkage adjustments...

Basic adjustments: The primary measurements that need to be made on a clutch is the gap between the clutch brake and throw out bearing. This is the adjustment that is made when you adjust the clutch itself and the gap should be between 1/2 and 9/16 of an inch and should be completed first. This can be measured with a 5/16 and 3/8 bolt using the hex portion of the bolt head. The other measurement that needs to be checked is the gap between the forks and the throw out bearing. This is the adjustment that will be made with the clutch linkage rods and should measure out at 1/8 of an inch at the forks/bearing. This will give you roughly 1 to 2 inches of free travel in the cab as well as enough clutch brake when it's needed. It sounds like you have it covered but any wear in the forks, linkages, etc will mess with being able to properly get this thing in adjustment.
Solo clutch: The measurements are going to be the same but in theory the clutch is supposed to adjust itself as the clutch discs wear. There is a sliding tab on the pressure plate that can be manually adjusted but again, in theory it shouldn't need to be done. Just make sure that the 1/2 to 9/16 gap is there. The only thing that will need to be adjusted is the linkage to take up the gap in the forks as the clutch adjusts itself.

For the clutch pedal noise, make sure that you are keeping the throw out bearing greased properly. There will either be a zerk on the bearing itself or there will be a hose with a zerk on it coming from the same location. Dry bearings will cause you some serious issues in short order.
