OK then after going in gun-ho try to fit the rizoma top yoke/clip on kit i've got myself in a right mess and my new s2r is in bits all around my lounge and i havn't slept thinking about it!
Has anyone fitted one of these, but with the brembo brake/clutch with the built in reservoir (black rectangular ones) as i can't see how it's going to give the clearance for the throttle cable etc. Also one of the bars (throttle side) has already been drilled with the locator holes for the componants which look to be in the wrong place for my bike - new holes are drilled will it weeken the bar too much?
I really need your help guys and gals - i don't even think i can put it all back to how it was now.
Many thanks

Markus I've fitted the Rizoma clip ons (without the yolk), and also have the coffin cylinders. Everything went on fine. My bars didn't have the hole pre-drilled so had to do it myself.
Are you able to take some photos and post them up?

unfortunatly i cant download photos at work and it's my only internet access.
The problem is that even with ignoring the holes that the previous owner had drilled i can't see that there will be a comfortable route for the throttle cable to pass the brake mechanism at all - everything looks straigned, inlcluding the brake lines from the cylinders.
Did you copy the holes accross from your normal bars eonan, or work out the holes as you went along?
Thanks for the reply

Did you happen to take any pics of the bars on your camera phone - if so, text me the pics and I can put on here now for you.

I just worked out where the hole needed to be. Here's a picture of how my throttle cables work with the cylinder...
