just got some DP rear sets which came off a 748R, went to fit the brake lever but it is hitting the side casing, didnt expect there to be different ones for 748R to the 996R. Are they?

problem resolved, not saying how coz it will make me out a total ..........

You confused the gear lever with the brake lever.

It takes a brave man to admit this many mistakes when only fitting rear sets!:lol:

Felix, just couldnt understand what was happening. once I had fitted the one side the wrong way round that was it, just couldnt work out why the brake lever wouldnt fit. to make matters worse, when i had sorted the problem i only tried fitting the brake lever to the gear side and again couldnt work out what was wrong, came stomping into the house telling my wife nothing fits, only to go back out and solve it instantly.

Thing is I have fitted them to previous bikes without a problem.

What a 42 carrott plonker i really am. All fitted correctly now.
