Aftermarket or OEM cable? Some aftermarket cables are too long.

Are you still using the 1979 clutch basket, did the clutch disengage okay before you changed the plates, did you make sure all the steels were flat and not burnt or warped ?

This is the likely culprit.

I had the same problem on my '79. After posting an inquiry on this site around 2012 I learned that the cable I purchased from Honda was originally for and '83CB1100 and superceded the original CBX part number. Close but no cigar. It works fine but leaves little room for future adjustment
