Post by: 2wheelin on April 23, 2008, 06:32:10 PM

you could just of gotten another OEM bracket and stack them and get .29cents bolt from hardware store and get the same result. :)

cheers

if he got more oem bracket they might not stay on good becuase the little half circle part wouldnt be there. it probly would work but i personally wouldnt, and didnt try it.

slide your controls in and cut off the excess that way they look sleeker in my oppion all that extra pipe makes it look like they don't fit. and you might want to paint your risers to match your triple tree or paint all of it. might I suggest trim black? :dunno_white:

So that is what my bike will look like but flat black fairings with an R6 solo tail and the risers will be shorter just enough to clear everything. as far as clearing the top triple I will file that sucker down and lower the front as much as I can

i thought about cutting my bars down a little too but i like where my hands sit like that, it would probly look better shorter though. oh well to each his own.

looks great btw though, im glad there are now fairing clearence issues, one of these days i may just throw mine back on for old times sake.

and about that big R, im with frankie. although big F imo would be sick.   :thumb:
