Speed Four handlebar conversion

[Bonniebird]

Here are some before and after pictures

Before......

After.......

Drilled top yoke

Oberon angled bar risers

Renthal ultra low bars

Oberon bar-end mirrors

'new' clutch cable from Bob's box of bits - rerouted

'new' longer brake line from a Sprint off ebay - rerouted

New bracket for the master cylinder (made by Bob)

Blanked off mirror attachments

(need to paint these with black Hammerite)

Thanks to Bob (Tango) and the bloke at work that drilled the yoke for me.

Not taken it out yet - hopefully Tuesday at Connington - but the riding position feels quite different.

Previous Laminar lip screen extender fitted.

It looks more like the Speed Triple (or Street Triple) now.

Aww, the second piccie is from my last ride with you and Tango!! Miss riding with you both...

New handlebars look good, let us know how you find them, have fun on Tuesday. Are those mirrors even smaller than Bob's?!?! Didn't think that was possible! Never seen bar-end mirrors, not sure if I'd fancy them but hope you enjoy

Still not had a test ride

Apart from a flat battery - jumped it off the Speed Triple - the throttle cable was too tight with the risk of revving on full right lock. Also something catching meaning the handlebars weren't turning as smoothly as they could.

Throttle cable now rerouted and the slightly longer clutch cable tie-wrapped out of the way so much smoother now.

Bob thinks it may need the steering head bearings doing over the winter.

Done a bit of touch up painting today and the battery is on charge.

I spotted some used shorty adjustable levers on fleabay so they are on order.

Fingers crossed for the weather on Tuesday evening for another attempt to take it down to Connington
