Flash987 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I just bought new OEM VFR bars for my 02 XX and ran into the same problem everyone else does. On the right bar the brake lever and throttle cables are too close to each other so the control switch needs to be rotated a bit. Reading on this forum I see the suggested solution has been to grind off the pin inside the control and then make sure the control is tightened down hard enough so it doesn't move. Has anyone thought about drill another hole in the bar itself and keeping the control pin intact? This way you wouldn't need to worry about the control slipping and I don't think one more small hole would compromise the strength of the handle bar. Any opinions?

A hole that size wound not reduce the strength. I wish I had done it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuXXtin Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Another option, grind that tab off so you can better position the brake line: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
