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.

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?
