I've just finished doing this to my bike. It was too good a deal to turn down, I bought the bike, 99 boxeye, for £600, sold the headlight for £75, fairing for £180, indicators for £30, double bubble screen for £30 and handlebars for £20. I hate bikes with fairings, always disliked the way everything always points straight ahead even when your turning ! Anyway I then bought a set of renthal bars £30, a new 7" lc type headlight £40, renthal grips £10, mini indicators £15, xenon headlight bulb £5, bar clamps £20. New clamps are needed the way I did it because I needed the bolts to be extra long to attach the new bracket that the clocks bolt to.
The bracket/plate was made from 3mm ally plate, I drew around the clocks to give me the shape, cut it out with a hacksaw, eventually, then marked where the ignition barrel was and where the clamp bolts were and then cut and drilled to make it fit. It's hard to explain and was a lot of trial and error. The plate was then bent so that the clocks faced the rider. There is a 10mm gap between the plate and the back of the clocks and a solution was found in .."................gutter gaskets !, the rubber strips that seal gutter brackets were a perfect fit, they look like they were designed for the job and are held in place with a few blobs of superglue.
The result is excellent if I do say so myself and I now have a bike that points where it's going.
I will post pictures if I can work out how.
