Re: brake res rubs fairing stay
I'm guessing you are using the stock clipons?
If so, just adjust the lever/mounting position, and this should alleviate the problem.

I had clearance problems when I had the fairing stay that came with the Ohlins damper. No problems I can remember with the stock clipons and fairing stay.

Had the same problem after I adjusted my levers downward. Fixed it by tweaking (bending) the reservoir bracket a bit.

Same here. I had my levers pointing down and Vortex clipons... Seemed the clutch and the brake would rub...

Re: brake res rubs fairing stay
I dont think the bike has been changed since new WRT the clipons etc. Either I never noticed it, or something has CHANGED... The clipons seem to be fairly symmetrical.
Im not going to lose any sleep over it though. Thanks all for the replies!
