vfr handlebars

[denisblackvtr]

Sorry to bring up an old topic, but when i've fitted my vfr bars they are catching the fairing. I read that someone lifted the fairing mount 10mm. Does anyone know how to do this or can i bend the supports forward a few mm. Spacers wont work cos the mirrors then wont fit cos the bolts are to short. Any suggestions and help gratefully recieved. Cheers Den.

Denis, Iirc they made up some spacers to fit between the fairing and the sub-frame where the mirrors bolt on. Not sure if it was 10mm though, that may be stretching the fairing a bit much. You could try a 4mm or 6mm spacer first. The only thing that may cause you a problem depending on how thick a spacer you use, will be the length of the mirror studs, they my not be long enough.

Cheers Chris, i had a feeling they would be to short, so i was wondering if it is possible to buy the bolt extentions on thier own that you get with the mirror spacers. Can anyone help with info? Cheers again, Den

did say this a while ago & some said no they dont.. mine fitted ok

if you remount the fairing it will look sh1t trust me.
just get a dremel & take off 20mm of fairing from just under the mirror mounts to the edge where it looks like an ear lobe.
it should look like this
