Project "Clean Bars"
You shouldn't be. I'll be using 1 1/4" dimpled bars. But I'm getting them raw, modifying, then sending them out to powder. If you plan on welding in the throttle, I don't think it matters.

The Steam line uses a vice angled piece inside the bar to lock it into the bars. Well that piece is right where the switch wiring needs to be run through. So I deleted that piece and square cut the end of the throttle body piece and used three set screws to hold it into the bars. Been working for about a year without any problems.

Not really. But I replaced the stock pads with the best aftermarket ones I could get.

Ok, thanks. I plan on converting to a hydraulic clutch and running the line through the bars.
My bars came yesterday. Now I need 96+ hand controls, exile internal throttle, hydraulic clutch release, throttle cable and hydraulic lines. (:
Then, engine mods, raked front end, seat, shocks, pipes, paint, and wheels.
