Looks like a nice symmetrical cut, good job. You might find you might need mirror extenders to stop your hands & levers hitting the missions on full lock Hand just clear the glass on full lock and my elbows take up half the rear view. Although not an issue I might look into extenders, thanks fo...

Although my good lady is walking distance from the front it’s the first time I’ve made it. Very enjoyable meet with some interesting machinery. Worth checking out.

Last night was the first time I’d attended this bike night. Apparently it used to be held on the quay but now it’s on the sea front. A good crowd yesterday evening with some cars there too. Seems well organised with stewards at the entrance and exit and showing you where to park up. It’s every Thurs...

Well the conversion is complete, minor tweaking of bars to do but it’s done. It’s scary cutting the fairing down as there’s no going back, but I’m happy with my handy work. Took the bike for a shake down ride from Weymouth to West Bay(Bridport) and back, wow what a difference. You guys weren’t wrong...

Ah right. That’s a nice simple solution, and there’s me trying to work out where you’d tie off the wire ! Thank you for the explanation. John I remembered (and checked today) that I left the standard bracket in place (not remove it as I said in my previous post above) as that also acts as a support...

Everything always takes longer than you think. I now double my time estimate then add another 50%, so three times longer than I expect. Pretty much covers it. Good job.

It’s all looking good to me, good job :clap: :clap: That is one mother of a syringe :lol: :lol: I find backward bleeding at the caliper bleed nipples works well. Most follow the arc of the curve that is already on the fairing in front of the ears, obviously different height in handlebars etc will m...

So on my first post, my Hello post, I mentioned I was going to do a flat bar conversion. Well here it is. After reading a few posts on here I gathered what I needed. Renthal Low Rise Bars Moto-CNC fork/yoke conversion Venhill Brake Lines. Last night I stripped down what I had to and today I fitted. ...

Quality does look...

Welcome aboard :thumbup: If you've not seen it already I fitted Ultra Low Renthal handle bars to my Storm. It was mainly due to a problem with my neck (old age and what comes with it) that I did this handlebar conversion. You can read about what I did here: https://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic....

Hi AMCQ,
Thank you and the flat bar mod does get a mighty thumbs up on here. I’m hoping it’ll be converted by Saturday.
