the brake line to the master is pretty snug, its kinda a love hate relationship on how it sits just right over the triple tree.

yea ill have to figure something out with the bolt holes onto of the triple. i was thinking of going to homedepot and finding a flush rounded top bolt and painting it black. or maybe finding a perfect sized rubber grommet. but i love it dude. it rides so aggressive now.

Was gonna try and put mine on today but noticed the issue with the front brake cable,
amy ideas anyone?
Bit naughty really as these clip ons are marketed as being able to use stock cables.

one problem you'll have is the brake line, it needs to be shorter but the clip ons will still work with it, just looks a little stupid

What about sliding the forks up and mounting the clip ons above the triple tree? Any one have pics? I bet it's a little more comfortable b/c of the extra inch rise.

Quick question about fitting clip ons...

I have a 2008 Nightster, and i recently tried flat bars which I like. When I removed the stock bars, I noticed that both the stock and new bars had a pressed groove on the underside. I thought it was for strength at first, then realised it is a cavity for the wiring to fit in under the switch blocks... So the switch blocks can fit snug and tight against the bars and the wiring wont be cut off.

Do the clipons have a similar indent or groove on the underside for the cabling?
