scotthamilton75 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 Bars, grips and mirrors on. Still revving a touch high when I turn the bars to the right. Need to see if I can re-route the throttle cables to counter this. Need to work out high I get rid of that horrible fascia and relocate the ignition barrel. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160720/de7155034e207e7fbe36cff41c9f540f.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160720/1a309ef2d4af54620138c9bb2b75df4a.jpgSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote

scotthamilton75 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 No, they still move to full lock. Just not the most practical in that position.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
nicklucey Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 Starting to take shape! Looking forward to seeing the finished article. Are you needing to do much to it mechanically or is it mostly cosmetic? Quote
scotthamilton75 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 It has been recently serviced before I bought it so no mechanical work planned yet. Which may also be beyond my talents... All cosmetic work hopefully, but even then it could be a test for my lack of skills.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
