Pat830 Posted April 16, 2007 Author Share Posted April 16, 2007 Pics tomorrow night at the soonest. Look the same as the original bars, just higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganDonor Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 What a world of difference, huh? Install the Buell pegs, and get an aftermarket seat, and it's a completely different bike. More VFR, less crotchrocket. But still has the balls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBadExxample Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I miss her. <sniff> <sniff> She looks good Pat. With the peg lowering brackets and VFR bars you must be looking forward to some long days and big smiles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corbin, VFR bars, and the peg lowering thingamajiggers, I'm ready for some trips. Makes it more comfy for the old man. Now if install NOS, I can attempt to keep up with Walt.

Banshee Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I just got a pair for my BB, cost me $150AUD from a wrecker. Do any of you who have done this had to move the brake lines a bit from the standard position? I found that the brake line positioned the lever so that it hits the throttle lines where they come out of the bar. I'm going to have to take the brake line off and move it to the other side of the alignment bit so I can rotate the lever down a bit.

Yeah when I did mine I ( like most others) just cut the front tab off the M/Cyl's and slightly undid the banjo's and rotated the banjo forward so that the MC would go onto the bars and bolt up, a lot of guys use a Dremel, I just used a hacksaw blade and then filed it a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Yeah, I ended up using the saw on my Swiss Army knife and a Dremel to finish it. Then I found that the ends of the bars are an inch different in height? Took them back off, checked them on the bench and found that they are at different angles... I guess one or the other is bent... Now I just need to figure out which one and take it back for a swap... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuXXtin Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hey Pat! I missed that you bought a bird... nice! I had heli's on mine from the get-go and were great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01xxallen Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 Those considering VFR/Heli bars might look at e-bay. Someone (not me) is selling a one piece bar and billet clamps kind of like the LSL bar conversion. Follow the search to "blackbird" or link The current bid is $45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat830 Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 This has peaked my interest. Perhaps a winter project? Spiegler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
