Hi can anyone help just fitted flat bars to my storm and now need to chop the fairing and screen so i'm not stuck riding just in a straight line.
Does anyone know where to make the cut to leave as much fairing and screen as possible or is it a case of cut it and see HELP !!!

Got renthal 754's at the moment but on first assembly think there too high going to have to cut loads out of the fairing and screen so think i will go for either flat bars or ultra low so i can keep as much fairing as possible. Rerouted clutch pipe and got enough there think my brake hoses will also reach ok not to sure about throttle cables though
I will try and take pic next weekend when i carry on with it. Thanks

the throttle cables will reach...you have to run them the other side of the forks..so thats one less thing to worry about!!sorted!!
