    i think i have found the answer to my brake hose bleed nipple clearance issue.....

    Error page | eBay
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330868713676?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619


    this will fit on top, with a single banjo bolt, bleed nipple facing outwards, then the Cunifer/Kunifer brake pipe into the other fitting

        finally all the clutch parts arrived today, the GSXR clutch pusher. will pop down to engineers Monday and get the pushrod machined to the pusher, then machined to the correct length and it should be ready to go.
        will have to lash up a slave hydraulic line for now until i get a specific line made up to fit but it will tell for sure if it will work.
        Also while i had the clutch apart again i found some wear on the main thrust washer, which i will replace, part # 09160-25022.

        fingers crossed

            I'm certainly interested in knowing if you are happy with the results after testing it on the road ... and I'm quite sure that others are interested also Adrian!

                Lovely job, did you hard pipe it all the way to the headstock?

                Don't say can't, as anything is possible with time and effort, but, if you don't have time things get tougher and require more effort.

                  no, it is joined to a s/s clutch line up under the tank

                    the difference between the 2 clutch covers now. still have to dress up a few edges and tidy the welds.(it was a bitch to weld) a massive weight saving of 370 grams........

                            LOL! Searching to see if anybody made a ready-built solution for the 1100E, I found this: www.orientexpress.com/images/catalog/OER2010LowerEndClutch.pdf‎
                            On the last page:
                            CABLE CONVERSION KIT
                            Eliminates the standard hydraulic clutch cylinders and converts to a simple screw-type cable activated system for smooth clutch engagement. Available for Gen 1, Gen 2 GSX1300R in billet aluminum finish or black anodized.
                            FWIW, the clutch on my Busa is a pain in the rear to bleed - harder to do than hydraulic brakes on a mountain bike.

                              That is tough to accept!

                                Adrian, The work your are doing is amazing to me. Curious though, what will the clutch cover be like when finished obviously can't have a large opening for operation? Thanks for keeping us lesser talented members involved. Ray
