We recommend that these handlebars be installed by
a qualified motorcycle technician. If you have any
doubts as to your ability to install these handlebars,
please consult with your local motorcycle dealer. Read
all instructions first before starting installation. Make
sure the motorcycle and exhaust system are completely
cool before starting the installation. Also, make sure the
bike is secure on the sidestand or ideally a rear service
stand during installation. Be sure to save all stock com­ponents for possible use later.

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES

1. Decide where you are going to put the fork clamps.
Line everything up as best as you can before actual
installation, and check clearances between things

like fuel tank, fairing brackets, instruments, mas­ter cylinders, plus brake hose or cable length, etc.

2. All hardware has been treated with anti-seize com­pound before assembly. If you disassemble it, you
must re-apply anti-seize compound to the titanium
hardware before reassembly to prevent galling.

Also when putting together the system, please clean
off the fork clamp shaft and the handlebar clamp with
contact cleaner or solvent to insure good contact.

3. Be sure to allow full steering clearance without dam­aging your tank or fairings.

INST

ALLATION

1. Make sure the bike is completely cool before starting the
installation. Make sure the bike is secure on the side­stand or ideally a rear service stand.

2. We recommend locating the V.3 fork clamp in the
same location as the stock bars, which may be on top
of or below the top triple clamp, depending on the
bike. If your handlebars mount below the top triple
clamp, you’ll need to either remove the top triple
clamp or lift the entire bike and slide the fork tubes
down from the top triple clamp. See your owner’s
manual for help removing the top triple clamp.

3. Remove all controls, grips, etc. from your stock han­dlebars then remove the stock handlebars from the
bike. Check to see if your throttle control has a small
hole drilled into the handlebar to position the throttle
housing. You’ll need to drill a matching hole in the
new right handlebar-measure this carefully. This nub-
bin is designed to prevent the throttle assembly from
spinning around the handlebar if the mounting
becomes loose (not all bikes have this feature).

4. Mount the V.3 handlebar assemblies onto the fork
tubes with the pivoting shaft ahead of the fork tubes
and reinstall the control. Sometimes it may be easier
to take the handlebars out of the fork clamps, install
the controls on the bars, then re-install the bars into
the clamps. Don’t forget to clean the pivoting sur-

faces and use anti-seize compound for the hardware.

5. The handlebars’ angle now adjusts up/down and for­ward/backward. Also, you can move the fork clamps
up or down a bit if your bars are below the top triple
clamp. When you get them adjusted to the most com­fortable position, turn the bars to full lock and double
check clearance between fairings, brackets, fuel tank,
etc. Also make sure there is no binding of brake lines,
control cables or wires.

6. Tighten all hardware being carefull not to strip the alu­minum threads in the fork clamp and riser. Ride the
bike and check all fastners for tightness after 50 to
100 miles.
