The MS Production one I got has a kind of cup situation at the bottom that fits around the swingarm; absolute PITA to get on therefore immovable when fitted, even without fixings.

Just to settle a friendly (!) argument, were any 748Rs ever fitted with 45mm systems? To my knowledge they all came with 50mm systems with 50mm standard and Termi cans.
