Ninja'd by a minute... but that half-inch is about the same amount as the width to the centerline of the hood, so at least we agree.

It is one heckuva long throw. I checked mine (5800) super-eyebally and a full sweep has the tip going ~2.25" inboard from the inside of the lever head (not center as you drew).

I'll assume 3" from centerline of the bars to give a bit of wiggle room. I'm at around 2.8" right now.
I really appreciate it!

This pm, long-suffering spouse gets an email that the PPP loan for her practice is approved. She is overjoyed, puts down her phone, opens the email on her iPad to sign some e-form to accept, clicks some random button and somehow declines the loan! Of course, there’s no help available. She’s been beside herself all evening, poor woman. She’ll go to the bank in person in the morning.

Got the Hirame head and mounted it to the Lezyne CNC. After first stripping the silly plastic wrap on the hose that would only melt when a heat gun got anywhere near it. 
Only got the hose onto the first barb, which made the included clamp way oversize. But it's pretty solidly on there anyway. Even with the rubber and metal scalding hot (I wore work gloves and it was still hot) it was a super tight fit. Works great, and I really like how when it's released there's practically no leakage. The jury's out on whether it's better than my Joe Blow Pro, but it's good to have another solid pump.

Another time I was dropped on a climb and flatted and my old co2 inflater fell apart. Luckily I had the pump.
In ancient history I always carried a Zefal frame pump. One time I knocked it off with my knee when going through an intersection. I parked the bike and started walking back to get it from the crosswalk where it landed. A woman in a car had been waiting for the green light and saw the whole thing. She looked at me and then ran right over my pump.
