Those Vindika bars are sweet but goddamn their ordering process.

Can you describe the required modification to the inner fairing?

in the process of doing my Vindikta's, 12 inch...with my stock heated grips, I bought 8 inch extensions from namz...should have went longer, and i busted one of the clips in the TBW plug disconnecting wires so had to buy a new one....if you want to know an easy way to run your wires, watch this...i ended up doing this and it saved a whole lot of cursing...

I will but it may be a while. I'm redoing my whole front end also. Tire, rim, chrome lowers, fender, single side rotor and caliper. Doing it all at the same time.
