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 for the tip.

I’m happy with the cuts and surprised I did a good job, I’m not known for cutting straight 😂

It was either that or change bikes for me, but I didn't want to change bikes, so this conversion was ideal :D

Definitely easier on my thumbs and the tingling in my right fingers has gone, just can’t believe how this has changed the bike for the better.
Modified P clip worked a treat on clutch line too.
Think I can call this conversation finished now.
