To obtain the ability for street riding comfort and greater flexibility I purchased your three part convertiBARS system in 2011. To make the convertiBARS installation possible I had to make several physical changes to the motorcycle. The headlight frame a headlight fairing extended over the handle controls which caused limited space for changes. To open up this area to obtain more space I made modifications to the frame cutting out 5” inches of frame rail and re-welding the mounts for the rear view mirrors, I also cut off 5” inches off of the headlight fairing and wind screen, repainting and refinishing both as needed. Since my desired ridding position is about a 4” rise, I also needed extended clutch and brake lines and throttle and choke cables, those were sourced as you direct on your website.
I know my description of the alterations described above my be difficult for some it really was not, the biggest trouble I had was welding the mounts for the mirrors back on the headlight frame and getting the angle correct, I have never had any formal training with a welder, I did have several sore and roughed up fingers after I finished, ouch!.
The photos attached show my efforts and the original fairing and frame sections, before I made my alterations as a reference.
