Got home today from work and had a package waiting for me. It was quite interesting installing these good thing i had some descent power tools to work with, i had to drill out the threaded sleeve that the original bar ends screwed into after about an hours work this is what ive got.

One step closer im waiting on headlight brackets and 7/8 handlebar clamps to mount the speedo to, the bracket i made interferes with headlight placement so i ordered some up and then will be road worthy again, until the next mod...

Hmm, very interesting. I received my new mirrors yesterday, and am also waiting for 7/8ths clamps for my speedo. And my bike is blue. We must be alternate universe twins. :thumbup:

Anyway, lookin' good man. Can't wait to see the final shots.

Dude very nice job! It reminds me of avogt's bike... before he wrecked it that is

The only thing I`d do is drop the headlight by about an inch of a bit less... I like is lower, as it makes for a more aggressive look imo... oh and I`d get some LSL bars too

Anyway, it looks great! :thumbup:

Thanks for all the advice i appreciate it:thumbup:. Although this is a great set up i wasnt happy with the way i had to offset the gauge cluster, so while counting sheep and sawing logs last night an idea came to me and this morning i acted upon this idea and this is what i came up with. Bars are difinitly on the must do list! next week.

Got my Harri's grip http://www.starcycle.com/street/harris.html ordered and im going to local bike shop to check out bars, so by the end of the week i'll hope to have most of this project wrapped up. Id like to thank all of you who have commented and gave advice on this transformation i really do appreciate it!

That's pretty clever there! I biased mine to the left though. I have the exact same bar clamps, (I guess we both took Wavex's advice) Either way, lookin' good man, lookin' good! I hope to have mine completely done sometime this week.

Definitly a great solution to mounting the gauge cluster to, the bar clamps are, but i wanted to beable use the part of the fairing that originally screwed to the cluster to hide the wiring and to do so the cluster had to be centered.

PayDay! finally got my bars, just got done installing them and im trippin, took it for a quick spin and whoa! completely different ride now, its gonna take a bit of getting used to, definitly more comfortable on the wrists tho! just waiting on my new grips to get here now.

Pure pimpness! Me likey. I just finished mine yesterday too. But I'm a doof, and didn't take any pictures. I will today though. But my bike has way cooler custom scratches on the clutch cover.

Did you make the bracket for the speedo or did you order it?
