[Rip]

I finally got around to buying one for the 996R and need all your experience. At the moment it is proving a tight squeeze on the clip-on fitting everything on, m/c, kill switch and throttle assembly. Is this normal or am I missing something, at present the grip is getting pushed off the end slightly. Also has anyone got any photos of their reservoir positioning after it's fitted so I can use the best way. TIA

It is a bit tight, but will go on.
The one way way to make more room is to cut off the plastic lip off the bottom of the kill switch, where the cable comes out of the switch unit itself. That'll get you about 10mm.
The edge of the clip on sometimes contacts the bleed nipple to, depending on the angle you set the brake cylinder at. If it does, you can file the edge of the clip on to clear......
