Convertibar Installation

Installation of the converibar was not easy though it seemed straight forward. Noticed couple of things ...

  • the length of the handlebars longer than stock.
  • Cutting them to size and ensuring holes aligned needed to be perfect
  • Have throttlemeister - the OD of this is larger than the ID of the handlebar.
  • to get full height - needed longer clutch and front brake lines
  • left side switch wire loom needed to be re-routed.
  • MRA extender - the air was routing straight at me due to upright riding position

cut the the bars to size

the Right master cylinder touches the handles to the angle of the handle had to be adjusted accordingly
MRA extended
using local acrylic managed to cut and create a new visor flap. Not perfect but does the work

Results

City riding : this seems very comfy, more upright,

Highway riding : TEST RIDE PENDING

I moved from helibars. Helibars were good but this being fully adjustable I am able to get it to the angle I needed.

Thanks that's what I thought as well as being able to lower them for a spirited ride in the twisties. I plan on putting ss brake and clutch lines on my bike so I can get them to make them 3" longer at that time

I like the idea of extending the visor BUT I think if I was you i would run some ribs down the primary windshield mounts so as to give more support.

What do you mean by ribs. The mounts are on the default clamps.

Low speed probably ok but I would bolt a extension that runs down the windshield . You added a lot of length which will increase load on the stock brackets. My laminar lip is not that long and it come loose .
