The hand guards connect to the bar end...Won't work. The hand guards connect to the bar end weights via a spacer that came with the hand guard kit (a Suzuki OEM option), so I'd lose my hand guards. My hand guards make things *much* nicer on cool days, since the wind no longer blows directly on my hands. On the other hand, the hand guards also contact the windshield when the windshield is adjusted wrong, so that's yet another problem caused by the bar risers (otherwise the hand guards would coincide with the lower cutout of the windshield, that's why the windshield is so weirdly shaped, to give the handguards a place to go). But the mirrors are a bigger problem, I can adjust the windshield around the handguards to lean it back further so I can look over it and get a better bubble of air, but when I do that, the mirrors hit it.<BR/><BR/>It's all these interactions of 3rd party gear that makes farkling a motorcycle interesting, eh? :-).<BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Improvising PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4649349012503946628.post-51126175572023669992008-10-29T23:57:00.000-07:002008-10-29T23:57:00.000-07:00Have you considered bar end mirrors?Have you considered bar end mirrors?Gordonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772126106416366135noreply@blogger.com
