yes, that's what i recall you saying.  then there's something
different between our bikes, because mine made contact with the
throttle cable housing rotated forward, but _not_ when rotated upward
(stock position).  and when rotated upward, my cable was too short,
whereas yours works, but makes contact in that position.  i wonder
where the difference is?

if it were just cable lengths that were different (i.e.  your clutch
cable shorter than mine, my throttle cable shorter than yours) i'd
chaulk it up to different production runs (i recall you have an early
RS).  but for the fairing and/or handlebar geometry to have changed
seems like a bigger leap.  curious.
