Barge Powaaaahhhhhh !!!!

Postby Gosling1 » Mon Jan 20, 2014 7:50 pm

yeh baby - those cheap Chinese fairings which don't fit well and look like shit.

Allegedly.

This is the new bodywork for the mighty Barge. Look close and you can see the touring bars :lol: :lol:

those 1-piece bars are without doubt, the best modification I have ever made to the Barge. So comfy :kuda:

How much did you have to drill and cut to fit the fairings? ;-)

That does look like the ducks guts.

Can you post up a pick of the bars please ? It's the only thing that bugs me about mine. The bars are still about 2" too far away for long distance travel even with the bar risers.

:lol: a few of the smaller holes needed some plastic dags cut away.......and the fairing inners are shite.......but overall it fitted up pretty well.

no probs I'll do a close-up tomorrow. These are just stock 350LC bars sitting on 30mm risers, from the OEM top clamp. Didn't need a longer clutch cable or brake lines - throttle lines are fine fitted u/side down. Do need to modify the steering lock, will lose maybe 15mm of travel at full lock, which is bugger-all really.

it does look good in the flesh mate - for $450 delivered to the PO box, this bodywork will do the job until I source all the OEM '05 stuff from the US. In no hurry to do this but would like a complete set of stock bodywork tucked away in the 4th........
