    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone know the size spec needed for this bike. I pickup a pair of bars the other day and love the look. My problem is I don't think htey are wide enough to accomidate the MAster cylinder, Throttle and grip. They are 27.5 in wide. any Ideas other than taking the tack and speedo off? I don't have a problem getting rid of the ones I have. Pictures of my rebuild coming soon!

I have drag bars and they are cut down an inch and a half on each side and it is very tight, but do-able. I don't have any gauges though

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking i may need to go htat direction. It must have a nice clean look
 
I was running daytona bars on my 550LX, they'd be about the same length as your drag bars. It was a tight fit, but it was doable.

Well yeah, but your bike is also buillt out of awesome and win. You could have probably made your bars out of unicorn horns and it would have worked well too. ;-)

would you have a couple pics of the front ends so I can see how you ran the brake cable and positioned the f master cylinder. I was also wondering when folks say "loop" your clutch and throttle do you know the minimum dia. need to not get bunching?
 
I sure don't have any pics... I'll try to get pics of my 750L for you though, as I just moved my daytona bars from my 550 to the 750 last night. The position of the MC and all that jazz are almost identical.

I don't know what the "proper" diameter would be, as I didn't loop mine... but the best thing to do is just get shorter cables. ;-)
