I added an extra washer or two per another thread on hear to make them mount tight, but these are great.

Sorry progress has been slow, it's been snowing AND I BROKE BOTH MY ELBOWS. That's a story for another day....

So I finally got the clip ons installed and (against my doctor's recommendation) took the bike on a short test ride around my neighborhood. Holy sh!t I LOVE the low bars. They feel AMAZING!

The bad: It is incredible difficult to get the bars even and I didn't compensate for the brake resevoir on the throttle side. Also, the wires from my thick heated grips rub the fairing and tank so I had to raise them a little. They still rub the tank and levers hit the fairings so I can't go full lock either side, but I can still go far enough to get the steering lock to engage.

I'm thinking about taking off the riser and getting it nice and low when I remove the front fairing and go street fighter... but I really wanted to make it work WITH the fairings. I'm sure you can make it work, it will just be tricky.

They are not drilled for bar ends and I'm worried about vibes on long trips (want to go 2.5 boring straight highway hours to Skyline drive) but I haven't ridden it enough to see if it will be an issue.

Doc said I gotta do 3x a week physical therapy for at least a month until they clear me to ride. I'm pissed and sad guys. Go eat up some asphalt for me!!

Sorry to hear about your rough time T! Hope you have a quick recovery- my advice is to actually do the at home exercises the PT tells you to, I didn't always follow through on my knee rehab and could tell that I was still struggling when it was time that I should return to work! Elbows are a bad joint to mess up forever good luck!

Damm, brother sorry to hear. I broke just one of my elbows years back and it SUCKED. Got full range of motion back by doing the PT, some of it was painful!
Hang in there and live to ride another day!

Wow, that sucks. Heal up quick. How long you out of commission?

 

[MistahT]

Already been healing about a month. I've started driving again. Doc says I can probably do PT for about month and be mostly back to normal. Therapist might clear me as soon as a week to ride the bike again!! It will be closer to 6 months til he said he would clear me to start doing chin ups and lifting weights again.
