Well...I finally got these on after delays to numerous to mention and a few occasional sidetracks. I took a page from azjax's book and used the original upper mount point as the new lower mount, then fabbed up a couple tabs and spacers to attach the uppers and get proper offset so everything lined up.
The one niggle is that the clevis on shift linkage hit kickstand when mounted as original, so hadda go "upside-down" and ended up with "GP" shifting, 1 up and 4 down. Had to route rear master cyl reservoir up behind right sidecover but that was no big deal.
I like the way they look and even with the clubmans, position isnt uncomfy for me, even at 6 ft 1. Got a shot of them with the Galindo F1 grips.



p.s....please excuse temporary exhaust hanger and ugly wiring dangling from handlebars....:whistle:

Very nice!, this may sound a bit odd, but would it be a huge job to make something like that? (haha yeah, Im running out of cash for my project, and I love to make parts) I was thinking I could make something like that out of steel and if it was painted black, it would look almost as nice as your setup. Its just the parts that pivot on each other that have me worried.
