I made my own drag bars... so no dimples,Clutch side I ground out a C-shaped tunnel with the dremiL-tool easy peazy,Acc side i cut a slot in the bottom of the housing ...cut .. rerouted and soldered wires and i've had no problems.H.
Unpinning the connectors & repinning them is MUCH faster than soldering. If you look at the plugs they're numbered. Just pop them out...don't worry about trying to keep track of what goes where because in your manual it shows what color goes with each number. Super, super simple. Very common practice.
And you'll need a 1/2" hole.
I installed some clip-ons on a Sportster by doing the same thing you're talking about and the whole job (from taking the stock bars off to ridable again) was less than 2 hours.
This bike.
man that bike looks like a blast to ride! nice job dude.
Hey.. kind of.. REvloc states that you can get away with not using the clutch lever anymore... but it is a lot smoother if you do.. basically the clutch is engaged by centrifugal force.. so.. while the motor is idling... it is equivalent to pulling the clutch lever all the way ... then... when you start reving up it slowly engages and you start moving... it feels a lot like a scooter... so imagine... stop and go traffic is a breeze... an "untentional" benefit is that you can wait at a traffic light in first gear... any sign of trouble you can just take off... is it worth $ 1000 ???.. no idea...
That's cool as hell, but alot of cash! There is a cluch set up like the for the Banshee qauds that my buddy was looking at where you did not have to use the lever, but if you wanted to hole shot then you could. So is the bike slower with that clutch set up or the same?
