Bloody ell Colin, you are posh in Glasgow, my cloths wouldn't even be in bin bags, they would be thrown in the mud, and if it was a dry summer, Joan would make some mud....... And for once I'm not joking mate.

I guess both of us know who wears the trousers then!

Aye and it ain't me

I can do anything I want as long as Joan says yes

lmao we like to think we where the trousers that reminds me i best ask her if i can have my bank card back
got a top yoke and renthals for my bar conversion today going to put them on later, has anyone done this and been able to keep the fairings standard without cutting them?
also started to build my brake lines last night here are a few pics

I was going to post you a link to cool n comfy but it looks like you have what you need , I'd be interested to know what clutch cable your using as I bought my bike streetfightered & when the clutch cable broke I couldn't find a standard cable to fit even with all the contacts Jen has in the bike trade ! I ended up making a new bracket so that a gs (suzuki I think ) cable fits . I'm sure cool n comfy state you have to cut the fairing but maybe if you used a flatter style of bar you may not have too

hi jompy the cable i am using is off a Kawasaki Z440 LTD 82-85 i have had to turn the original bracket round like this


(for now but will make a bracket later its working fine like this tho) maybe your bracket will be ok?



managed to use normal renthal low road bars with enough room to keep fairings original (my main concern) everything is loosely put together and clears tank ect m/c is just bolted on to where the switch tightens up (will be getting a bracket for it) that's it up to now

added link here cable is more than long enough http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/390599115696? ... EBIDX%3AIT" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

hey bud here's my bracket before it was powder coated against the original bracket & if you wanted the cable part number i can dig it out , its a hi level pattern cable

cant see it mate?

Thanks mate I know most people don't like the bar conversions but it feels better for me

The only thing that matters is that you're happy with it mate - enjoy

Nope, you're right, I don't like the bar conversion, but then again I don't have to do I? Looking nice otherwise! Enjoy!

i love bar conversions but i'd loose the fairing

She is looking good , can't say I'm a fan of the riser bars on a sports bike but what do I know lol.

Welcome in mate
