Well got my bars on and discovered two things.
First-the clutch cable is too short and I'll have to get another one. If I turn the bars too far to the right it pulls on the clutch to the point that it is not engaged.
Second- the lower fairing does not sit correctly under the instrument fairing properly any more. Anyone else experience this? I'm thinking perhaps I have the bars rotated too far forward and that it what causing the problem. However it also looks like they are not wide enough at the base and that is forcing the instrument fairing out.
They are by far the best looking bars out there. The difference between the 10, and 12 inch is the 10 inch sit right with the faring, and the 12's are noticeable taller than the faring. The higher the bars, the harder it is to get around slow speeds, and parking. You run out of arm.
