Clubman bars with original brake setup?

anybody running this? looks like the master cylinder and hose would be a really close fit. thoughts?

I have been using the HYDE style m shaped bars, upside down, the bars need to be about 30'' + wide for the master cylinder to clear the head light assembly, I had to move the braided line to the inner hole.The bars I have on now are a flat m bar, no offset up or down 29'' wide and the rubber boot just touches the fork leg, I was surpised how much difference a inch or two in width made the steering feel slower, also the lower bars were good on the open road but terrible on the wrists on long windy downhill sections.

Pictures would be awesome. I've seen some go to a banjo to make it fit.

have not tried clubmans, but FWIW did try some Ducati Monster bars yesterday and learned that the switch, throttle, and MC would not clamp properly to them since they are 22mm, very slightly less than 7/8"...anyway still looking for new bars myself but now know to make sure they are a true 7/8" dia.

They'll work. I'm running Thomaselli adjustable ones, I've run K&N in the past. If you change your headlight ears you can rotate the bars back, which I find more comfortable.

I fitted club man bars to the new Project Trident, but I also used Suzuki master cylinder , not OEM ~ so may not be a totally appropriate comparison but I like the set up, obviously ~
