I finished it this evening. It was a lot more work than I thought. Not that it was overwhelming, just time consuming. I could do it a lot faster the second time. The trick to the bars is push then only pull the slack til it is taught again and then push again. Small things I could have done better were be more organized, it is so much going on I think I spent almost as much time looking for tools as I did actually working. I also think it would have been a lot easier to do all the soldering first. That was the last thing I did before buttoning the fairing up. It is a one person job but two people would have made it a little easier I think. Overall I am happy. The only thing I need to do tomorrow night is adjust the throttle. It is a little loose.
