    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

I'm replacing the "L" bars on my 750LX with Daytona bars. I notice that there are holes in the stock bars where a little tang on the inside of the left & right side switch housing fits.

The new bars from Z1 don't have holes & the switch housings will not clamp completely on them.

What do all you do to make them fit? Snip off the tang or put holes in the new bars??

Thanks,

Mike
 
You can do either, but the easiest method is to remove the tang.
 
I have drilled out the hole in two sets now, never had any issues. Just make sure to center punch, then a small pilot hole, otherwise you will wander around the chrome a lot.
 
I drilled out the holes in the measured up from the end of the bars on mine and it worked great. No slip and the drilling was done with a cordless Porter Cable drill. I was surprised at how easy it was. Just keep the same orientation toward the underside of the bars.
