Wide bars = comfort?

[noggythenog]

No need to drill, but you need to file down the small plastic pointy but that goes into the holes because with no hole to go into, the switch gear wont close around the bar properly, leave enough of the plastic to just bite on the bar whilst allowing the gear to still close up.i used the file in my leatherman multi tool.


I wrapped some aldi double sided tape around the bars where the gear will go for extra sticky grippyness (ive actually heard that none of this is actually required because the gear will clamp to the renthals nicely as they arent polished shiny metal like the originals but hey everyone else was doing it so i did it :rolleyes .[size=78%]i actually went a bit overkill & wrapped folded over tin foil over the tape for extra bite but it looks a bit daft where i can see the foil in the gaps between switches & throttle etc.ill see if i can find my thread where i did it.[/size]


Also thanks to Stevie, punkstig, buzz & deadeye for their assistance & the help in doing this when i was asking. 8)
