It is something i have thought about doing but it seems a lot of pissing about removing grips switches(thats if you dont just bend the brackets out of the way to remove it ) and so on,then to find out you dont like the look of it.If you do decide put some pictures up and lets have a look at it.

probly not gonna bother

Thats what i thought, that it was tons of work just to see if i liked it. Wish the brace had hinged clamps! Iv bought sum barend mirrors off ebay anyway now so they should clean up the bar area a bit and i dont want the bars vibrating too much now that il be removing the bar end weights and puttin my mirrors out there (the standard mirrors vibrate sooo much anyway). I will try n post sum pix when i get the barend mirrors on it. Also started making a number plate mount/indicator mount to replace the big plastic bit thats standard, might do an led conversion later but i dont wanna start cutting thru bits before the bikes a bit older.
