^^^don't know for sure just yet about the bars but i will on sunday. thanks CAR! got my whiskey throttle too. anyone install one of these? looking at the directions it seems as though i need a physics degree to install it. any tips anyone can provide that has done this with an efi?
push/pull. not running a kill switch so figured i'd go with the dual cable. I know I can just yank the clutch if it should ever stick with a single cable but just a little extra piece of mind. never installed a thorttle. cab;es should already be more than long enough so i know i won't have a problem there. moving the switches to their final resting place this sunday, then fuggin' with the bars if the switches don't take too much time. might hit rene up if they aren't drilled internal and see if he'd take these bars back and make me a new pair that are drilled. worth a shot i guess but praying mine are drilled. from what i could see using a hanger with the bars mounted it appeared as though they were drilled but i took them off and i should be able to get a better idea now.
Throttle should go easy, though I don't know first hand. Looks pretty simple from the outside. That whiskey looks super clean. Looking forward to seeing how the switches come out.
Made some serious progress today. Bars are in fact drilled inside! Hallelujah. Drilled the bars at the bottom of the uprights to run the wires and drilled the spots for the switches. Don't think I need to grind as much as first thought on the hand controls but some does need to be grinded away, no bigs. Moved and drilled holes in the frame for the starter and horn buttons in the neck gusset on the rt side. Street fighter you weren't kidding, **** is tight. Had to bend the connectors to get them in but they're in tight.
Moving the hi/low beam switch next week and running the wires in the bars for the turn signals. Pretty much concentrated on the rt side today but thought since were drilling the hole in the frame for the starter and the horn was gonna be just above it we might as well drill that too. Soldered the wires together for the run/off button too so when you turn the key the pump primes and turns the bike off. What sucks is not being able to test any of it until the tank is back on the bike (w gas) but I'm confident cause I got the best electrician in the world on my side.
Hopefully next week we can finish the bars and get started on the throttle and hem this **** up. Here are some pics.
One of the whole setup. Super clean and I'm chopping like 2in off the ends of the levers for some custom shorty pieces. All that extra is a waste. I never touch it and now it sticks out way too far.
