Clean and refit the breather tank and with the new hagon shock I have clearance of 2 sheets of a4 paper so pretty tight but should be fine, all the rubber hoses are perished and the 2 short reducing ones may prove hard to replace

Just remembered why I didn't stick with the tomasellis, the adjustle knuckle blocks the brake reservoir sliding up the bar enough to work without a 4 or 5 mm spacer, I was happy with nos original clipons anyway so all good, oh well it beats watching tv , moving forward slowly

A real shame , i think they could have been very nicely adjustable for the old body

I I'll see if I can find some suitable spacers to fix this issue as I have put the effort in already and the ergonomic benefits

The more I look at this I realise how much goes into seeing if the tomasellis will fit I realise that I really need to set the lower fairing in place as Well , I wish I had of kept at it the first time, but it should be worth the effort

I'm only concerned with the throttle side as I've upped the size of the brake reservoir , the other side will work no woz

I think the bolts for brake lever will be like stops if I Don't drop down lower to clear triple tree but that will all but defeat the purpose

Verdict is in I'm farkin over it the tomasellis will not work on these bikes !!! I'd like to be proven wrong but I just can't see it , I've even tried them with the stock brake reservoir and no go, can get the res to clear but still hitting fairing to brake lever, lots of work ANF frustration but atleast I know now, I'm sure I could get them to function but there'd be no advantage
