I have a set, just tried to see if there is enough room and that is ok.

can't see why they shouldn't work. might take some time to set them up properly.

my brother in law has just fitted a pair to a rd400 with good reults, as for the actuator set up all he did was blank off the extra pipes to prevent leaks.we are yet to have the bike out in anger but results in the garage are good up to now

They are a bugger to set up. Colin Sleigh had a set working.
My advice is unless you can get the settings of Colin stick to PWKs they are a lot easier to work with.

I've just spotted these on ebay,

Could this be the same Colin that Mark mentioned?
If so you've got half a chance of getting them working.
