but how did you line up
the bars to know where to fit
the risers? and how close to
the edge of
the yoke where you?
defo like this look, where
the risers just standard ones or renthal?
sorry so many questions but its my first big bike (started late) so I'm totally green.
oh 1 more thing, are
the holes threaded for
the risers or easy bolt ons.
Might take a few goes at answering, but starting with lining up:
Because
the forks stick up through
the yoked, you need to use angled risers.
Once you have
the bars and
the risers loosly fitted to each other you need to position them onto
the yoke (with your old clipons removed) so they are clearing
the forks when
the bars are in an upright (or slightly forward) position,then i drew round them with a marker pen. From there i worked out where
the hole should be and drilled one side from that reference,then measured
the other side so it was in
the exact mirror position.
But My risers were not angled and wouldn't have worked if I didn't have them machined to get an angle onto them, and then that ment
the mounting bolt was no longer running at90 degrees, it made it all very complicated.
To minimise
the amount you have to cut from
the faring, you have to have a riser which is less than 1" bar centerline above
the yoke, and use
the ultra low street bike bars.
I will see if I can find a link to
the ones you should use later
