409 viewsThe top bar has the stock groove in it and the bottom one shows the extra material I had to remove, about 3/4 of the width of the original groove. Both bars required this modification. This allows the bar to be positioned "down" more so the reservoir clamps/brackets can fit on the bars. I used a hack saw to make the initial removal of material then used a rat-tail (round) file to further remove material and neaten the curves. Remember to remove just a little instead of too much! These are aluminum and it's very easy to work with.

So I removed the locating pins and rotated the clip-ons backward a couple millimeters. My clip-ons are butted up against the upper triple. I also had to adjust my left steering stop so my horn button wouldn't press against the tank so my left turning radius is slightly less than my right.
