Chip Beck Spec Low Handlebar/Mirrors Mod.

[Liable_imp]

I know this has been discussed in the thread already, but just wanted to confirm some of the points from my experience with this mod on a 2014 standard.

1) No drilling is required for the Cb500f bars, the controls are slightly tilted forward, but as previously stated, I could see no issues with this.

2) I did not have to rotate the front brake cable. I actually did it to start, but the cable was pretty bent after rotating. I found that putting it back, under the tab, there was less of a bend and it still cleared the fork caps by a few millimeters. I suppose if I lowered the forks in the clamps it might become an issue.

3) routing the throttle cables in front of the guide bracket is essential. I also rotated the cables up from the controls. I'm not sure I have entirely found a solution here as there is still a minor bind when the bars are totally pulled to the right. However, it is currently in the best configuration I've found so far.

If I get around to it I'll post some pics.
