Cool. I've read that you can increase slack by rerouting the brake line thru the triple tree, but don't recall exactly what route that was or how much slack it provides.
That's why I referenced the Twisted Throttle version. They're pricey (@ $115), but from the description and photos at their site, are better engineered, better looking and confirmed to fit the NH750. Apparently, someone on their staff rides one. I have a set of the ebay up/back ones, but ran into the same lack of slack situation you're describing and shelved the idea. Didn't feel like messin' with the brake line (and the necessity of bleeding the system) at the time. But now I'm planning to rebuild the caliper and install a braided stainless line, so the idea is back on the table. Sort of, anyway. My bona fide antique Naked Wing (DMV asked me if I wanted a "Hobby Antique" tag last renewal) is a priority at the moment. Awaiting cash and time. You know the drill (!)
