Jaspers got some harris clip ons mate ..

Nat

[RightSaidFred]

Yeah these are Harris too. Are ya thinking of fitting a set mate? They're dead easy, only thing you have to do is cut the small plastic pin out of the switchgear which locates it in the bar. It's no big deal they don't slide round. Also fabricate a bracket for the brake master cylinder (or cable tie it like mine for that 'race' look :D

[sparkin]

Hopefully I`ll have a look at yours on the 31st Fred,but they're not the photos I meant,so it must have been Jaspers like Nat said.Has Jaspers got a carbon dash Nat?

[Jasper]

Yes.Twas me.I have a carbon dash with Haris clipons and Brembo radial brake and clutch master cylinders.

Thanks mate,did you swap to a single brake hose from the master cylinder then split it under the yoke,or run twin lines like the standard set up?Banjo switch for brake light?

Now changing to radial levers so any advice welcome.Where did you get the "lower" carbon dash from??

[Jasper]

hi,
two lines from master cylinder,banjo brake switch.Are you doing the clutch as well?That opens up an horrendous can of worms!!Drop me an e-mail and i will go though the clutch bit!

You can get them here:

Are the bar tubes longer than standard,ie give you more leaverage?

[Jasper]

It they are it is not by very much.You can have a look at TA4 if you haven't done it by then.

Sparkin, Jasper

Which is the "original" front brake line configuration - one or two pipes from the master cylinder? My SP3 has a single pipe which splits above the front hugger, but I need to replace the horrible red/blue alloy fittings with stainless, and I want to use the original pattern (unless the other one is much better?). If I decide to change to two pipes, are they readily available "off the shelf" or do I need dimensions etc?

Thanks

Andrew

[Jasper]

Mine was a single line that then split into two.

[sparkin]

Mine was twin lines.

Has anyone got/seen/know of a source of ally clip-ons for the 888 that maintain the original bar height. I've got similar to Jaspers on mine and as they lower the bars the limitid lock is becoming a pain. (n more than one sense)

Last resort will be custom from Spondon I guess as the Ohlins require 51mm.

Rgds, Rob

[Jasper]

What about some originals?

[Rob B]

Well, from an SP, maybe. How much?


Rgds, Rob

[Jasper]

How much are they new?Half of that?Drop me an e-mail and we can discuss!

[aka.eric]

These are available from Baines,made by Spondon.Originally for the project Imola bike.Same rise etc as 888,£80+vat.I got lucky on fleabay.
