clutch pedal over travel
I've been advised to fit a clutch pedal over travel mechanical stop to avoid damage to the clutch. What damage can it do? How easy is it to do
it?

Possibly rip the clutch arm off? I'm fitting stops to both the clutch and the throttle.

Over travel damages the clutch cover assembly.
All thats required is the clutch arm has just enough travel to enable reverse to be enaged without grinding the gears.
As smart51 says simple adjustable stop on the pedal will do the job very nicely. Likewise the throttle cable should not pull the carb hard against
the stop at full throttle as this will cause something to break or damage the carbs.

All you need to do is measure the linear cable travel on a bike (preferably an R1, but I used a TZ250 as that's what was nearest....). You
should find that you need about 12mm of cable travel, so then just attach a stop with a bolt and a couple of nuts to limit the pedal travel - job
done!
Mine worked beautifully first time.... 
Spin 'er off Well...
