Nice lookin' bars ... great lookin' bike. Are the Biltwells drilled? I looked at getting a set once, but Biltwell's site indicates the bars arent drilled and were not desinged for stock controls. Once again ... nice bike ... great work!!

No they aren't drilled, I just eyeballed the holes on the stock bars and went to drilling.

make sure the end of the grip as about 1/8" away from the bars....Easy to forget this and push the grip up against the bar end when remounting everything. That'll fix ya right up.

Thanks pulled them out a little more than they were, and they were still slow on the return. They rode great, much more aggressive than the stock bars, and I could get on the highway without getting beat up by the wind. Not real sure about the pullback on the though, I'm going to adjust them and see if I like them better.
