That would be real fun with the Hot Grips glued in place LOL!

Seeing the other pictures I am not convinced that drilling the handlebars and fixing the holding clip would make a big difference. From my view angle, pulling them slightly would only cover the speedo even more.

I need to try the originals before trying anything else.

Glue? Why? lol

Just spray some hairspray in there and they will stay in place

Is a bit too late for that now. lol

No. its because the bike is parked at full left lock. When it is upright with the bars in the middle they sit perfect just under the speedo. Especially for my height.

Hence my comment about not getting it out and putting it on the abba in the rain. The photo's are a bit misleading, they were meant to show the bracket,

I've seen that but I also realised that my throttle body is rotated further back which affects the angle of the cables. Since it is now glued with the hot grips, I can't change it's position.

Rotating the whole grip would put the grip cable protector behind the brake lever which is bad.

Yes. I have just looked at your original piccy. Your throttle body cable housing is mounted too far forward hence extending the cable loop. I put mine back to how the standard OEM cable was at about 90 degs to the bar and it the cable loop is perfect.

It seem the best position with the reservoir connected the way I did. Otherwise it would have rubbed on the reservoir's hose.

Clearly some instructions would have come in handy ... LOL

As someone has said before "specialone". You are not the first person to say that.

lol touche..

Well i've bit the bullet and bought a comfort kit too. Its all fitted apart from the brake hoses. I had a bit of an accident with one of them and it got trapped and squashed whilst testing full lock. I've got hold of another one so the damaged one will be shortened and used as a rear. The replacement was far too long so this and the undamaged one will also be shortened as i think they supplied a bit on the long side anyway. I've also drilled the bars for the switch gear and brake reservoir etc.

I also think the clutch cable isn't ideal so i've used a bit of rubber tubing over it where it rests on the top yoke. I've managed to get my new throttle cables positioned nicely by loosely tie wrapping them to the main loom. I've tested both full locks with the bike running and both cables are out of the way of the speedo etc. I've also added some black plastic allen head bolt covers on the risers as it gives it a more OEM look.
