From an '09-'11 Monster 1100.
The stock axial masters limited the positioning of the bars. They look better, but the real reason was to improve the ergonomics a bit. Closer, but still not exactly where I want to be. What I need is for Tommaselli to offer the riser part of the clip-on with a bit more height. That would be perfect, I think.
Woodcraft offer a few different rise heights.

Today I have mainly been...
Fitting a F4i master cylinder to The Murvinator... A recent evil bay purchace...
With the double banjo on it was touching the fork top & so limiting the angle of the dangle...
So fitted an adapter & now there is plenty of clearence.
This has now aloud a bit move adjustment to the bars as well so starter button & hooter dont touch the tank on full lock..needs a tad more off the fairing as it is touching the switchgear on the top on full lock... Pass the dremmel...
The M/C came with a shorty red lever which is a bit of an eyefull will have to keep me eye out for something else... Yes loads on ebay but the F4i clutch is a cable...So that buggers up buying a pair...
Nice ehhh ?
Not...
It'll do for now, currently running a std clutch lever so the deff don't match... Thankfully I don't suffer too badly from OCD...

Is this with OEM Firestorm/Superhawk front brake calipers
Chris.
I’m running calipers from a CBR 954
Thanks for the information
Chris.

Nope... The yoke is in the same position as the std one was, the std clipons would take up that space...
I'm on the lookout for a Blackbird Clutch m/c but need one with a lever. They dont look the same as a Storm one to me...correct me if I'm wrong ...
Blackbird clutch lever is the same part no as the late Storm one...
They are both different to the early Storm part number...
However the VFR800 is the same part number for the clutch M/C...so that gives more options...

Looking at a Honda parts fiche, it shows the same part number for both gen storms, both gen blackbirds and both VFRs gen 5 and 6 (to at least 2005).
Honda #53180-MZ1-792

Interesting. That part no. for the early storm, 53180-MR7-671, yields nothing on two US parts sites. Either way sounds like your search is over.

More tinkering to The Murviator.
Mainly swapping the forks over from Hamburg to The Murvinator just beacause I knew they were fully refreshed when I built up Hamburg.
Did another & hopefully final trim to the fairing...All good now on clearence.
Boxed them both all back up & the postman dropped off the clutch M/C I'd orderd...
Thought about swaping it over for about 5 seconds...nah another day carn't be arsed today...

Have tried a Storm brake lever, I'm sure I used one on an F4 master cylinder, most 90's Honda's used the same lever.

Got the wiring soldered up and re-wrapped after removing the spyball alarm and removed the sub frame.
Was planning to sand it down and paint it myself, but at a closer look it could need a proper blasting and maybe powder coating
