RE: New Renthal low bars installed today
#7



I dont have a pic of the stock bars next to the renthals but i will tell you after a nice long test ride today, they are great, for me at least. Very confortable and no noticable vibration to think of, infact i didnt even think about checking for vibration untill half way through my ride so guess it didnt jump right out at me. I did drill holes for the switches. Its my first time dojng it and only had to drill once. I measured the stock bars with everything stripped off then read not to do that because the grips sometimes hang over the bar ends. I took the new bars, slid them into the switches and grips and held the switches where i wanted them and lightly turned back and foward untill it left a small mark in the bars where that tab is. I then gently pulled the new bars out and let the switches dangle freely and went to the vice at my work bench. I wrapped the new bar with a towel, put it in the vice, secured it and gave a light punch to mark my spot with a center punch and hammer. Do this so the bit doesnt walk on you. I then drilled out a pilot hole with smaller bit then my final hole and hoped for the best. Then reassembled everything and done. I originally used hair sprap to set the left grip but it didnt hold well so now i used grip glue and going to let it sit over night. Adjusted the levers and bars several times untill i got it just right. My OCD kicked in while adjusting so took me four times to get it where I like it.
