Install was easy. Took me all of about 45 minutes.

Can't ride until tomorrow though because the left side grip is still wet.

The more I see them the more I want them!

Clean bike, bars look awesome!

That colour is nice. The new bars look good.

Thanks, wish my garage was a clean as my bike. ;D

be grateful, look at mine. i have the same shelves as you too. oddly enough, my brother's s2000 still fits in the garage.

Very nice! Enjoy! Don't forget to lube them every 600 miles.

WTF? ???

Nice. Do SM bars have the dimples like the stock ones to align it?

[sdobbs20]

cool looking bars. were they pre-drilled?

Yes, they do.

 

[JAG]

Sorry, my miserable attempt at humor

Yes, the bars come pre-drilled.

Are those the Type 1s or the Type 2s? What did you use to attach your left grip? I ended up using Gorilla glue on mine and haven't had any issues, but I'm wondering if there's something better.

Nice bike, the gray looks awesome.

EDIT due to SDrider's ninja reply reflexes.

 

[dre]

Yes, they do.

Hmmmm.... really? Mine didn't have dimples... ???

I just used dish soap. I've used this before with no problems. I put an aftermarket grip on and it was fricken tight so I'm sure after 24 hours this sucker isn't going anywhere. If I feel any slippage I'll buy some Gorilla glue.

The bar is a Type 2 bar.

One last question... what kind of mirrors are those? CRGs? I like how they fold up like that, I'm always knocking my bar-end mirrors into the side of the garage.

 

[BKK Jack]

Those do appear to be CRG Hindsight LS mirrors. I have the same, and they are great for parking really close to a wall if you have to.

Another question: If you remove your ignition key before "flight", how do you initiate "take-off"?

I thought that whole "REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT" thing played itself out in the 80's.

 

[NTJordan]

Mmmm, sexified. I wish I liked the riding position enough to get me some of those.

;D I couldn't find anything I liked that wouldn't scratch the upper triple. It is kind of annoying blowing around when I'm riding but at least I can find the key easily when I'm off the bike.

I'm open to suggestions (those rubber dealer advertisements are out of the question).

And yes, those are CRG Lane Splitter mirrors. I've had them on the bike for almost a year now, they rock for lane splitting. If I am coming up on a tight spot I just fold them in and slide on through. I usually fold them in when parked in my garage just so that my wife or son don't bump them.

 

[J-Dog]

Nice. Gotta love the Type 2's.

I'm actually thinking about switching from the 2's to the 1's.

 

[helitack32f1]

Nice bars, nice bike, nice color, and I LIKE the "remove before flight" thingy. I am curious as to how you like the bars after riding for awhile. I want a set. Thanks for posting pics.
