There was someone on ebay selling an adapter for the double banjo bolt to avoid the clearance issue. It was basically a threaded tube with a banjo hole at one end. You used the adapter with the single banjo into the m/c, which then gave you a right-angle turn on the inlet (the adapter now sits parallel below the m/c). You screwed the double banjo into the adapter so you kept the single height banjo clearance but could fit a double banjo and brake lines. The adapter was less than £20 I think, but I can't find them with a quick search! Typical!

As for the reservoir hose, just get a metre off ebay, usually about £5-£6 per metre for Brembo stuff.

Senna3 got one a while ago for fitting a brembo Radial to his 916 Senna3, I was thinking of getting one for my 996 as although only single banjo the brake light pressure switch wiring is very close to the air tubes, only having a bit of clearance due to running wider bars

The search is on, if anyone knows of were to source these adapters let me know.

He also sells a "kit" for £29.50 which is the adapter with a pressure-switch banjo bolt, if you want to run it with brake lights for the road:

HTH.

I fitted a Brembo RCS to my 996 recently with double banjo bolt - the existing brake hoses were fine however due to the position of the RCS brake line fitting (underneath the m/cyl) the head of the banjo bolt is very close to the fork leg - about 2mm clearance. I jiggled the standard bar around a bit but I may need to do a bit more jiggling.
Not sure about that e-bay adaptor - I wouldn't trust using an unknown make/material spec part on my brake system, but that's just my opinion.

I'm not using a double banjo, but I do use a pressure switch that probably has the same clearance issue. I put longer slightly bars on mine so I could move everything outwards down the bars to give better clearance. You probably wouldn't notice as they were less than an inch longer, but helped loads.
