For the guys with s2r800s

Hey for all the guys with the coffin style reservoirs.. if you guys are running clipons which clipons caused the least amount of trouble as far as clearance issues?
Which one are you guys running? I've been researching for a good time now and I can't seem to figure out which ones to go with.. any input would help . thanks in advance kind people

Clearance for what? Don't know of any problem with coffins and clip ons.

Any clipon with a decent amount of rise.  Most likely, you will be mounting the clipons under the triple.  You will run into issues with the headlight/fairing assembly/bracket.  You will most likely run into clearance issues with your stock turn signals as well. 

How do I know these things?  Im putting on clipons right now an it is a pregnant dog to get everything to fit.  Major re-routing and possible modding required.

I think Duc-e was referring to the reservoirs not clearing the rise on the clip-ons. I know Cyclecat made a set of spacers to accomodate the guys with the coffin style masters but we all know all the Cyclecat stuff is now pretty much unobtainium.

 You could try starting a thread in the parts wanted section to see if anyone has a set laying around but I doubt it. One of our members Qfactor is a machinest. You could try PMing him and maybe he could make you up a set.

thanks for the input, thats precisely what I was speaking of.  Yea I'm actually trying to get my buddy to machine a set of spacers for me.. I just got the apex clipons the other day.. hopefully spacers will do it

How about these?

You can do it if your methodical and think through how everything seats.
I'd recommend new lines though as the oe ones are too long for low clip ons and add to the problems, I used this as an opportunity to fit goldline calipers and new discs(which the oe lines dont fit anyway due to the banjo bolts being in different angles and positions on the caliper).
The coffin reservoirs will fit even onto the lowest clip ons, the issue then will be the angle of the levers is not always as ergonomically good as it should be , but thats something I've learned to live with.
Its also made a lot neater if the lights and clocks are also lowered and though its a squeeze getting it all in there aren't any problems for me after a couple of years like this.

simple answer  new masters too.

Not quite the answer you're looking for, but upgrading to a set of goldlines (in gold or black, depending on how fashion concious you are!) Will give you remote reservoirs as well as lever adjustability ... You can pick up a set for $200-$250 all day long on here or eBay

I think I'm with duc-e Chicago in that I actually want to keep the coffin reservoirs.  Clip ons are defniitely a must (6'4" with a majority spirited riding pace) but I absolutely hate the later model cheap-ass looking round reservoirs.  Even the rizoma billet ones look goofy, as the clip-ons give the front end of the bike a much meaner stance while you have these odd little things jutting out of nowhere cluttering up your cockpit.  Although a bit blocky, the coffins have a very built-in and clean look to them.  Does a new cyclinder/lever/reservoir setup improve braking or is it mostly an aesthetic upgrade?  I know new brakelines, calipers, rotors, etc. can have some effect, but it seems as though (with the exception of lever distance modulation) anything new attached to the handlebars is simply going to look pretty and/or alleviate clearance issues.  Not to mention at the moment I can barely afford new brakelines, fittings, and bars, let alone a set of goldline calipers and galfer discs.
