Well, just as it states...

I havent had the CrossRoads bars since the incident in early 06...

Got them in this week...

Didnt even bother to polish them.. just slammed them on...

HOLY S**T...

First off, it was akward switching from the Sporty to the Buell..

The Buell was akward anyway, but, I got used to it over the last couple years with the upside down clubman bars...

NOW, its back where it belongs... and feels like it should...

Oh what fun...

A buddy of mine, looked at it today, and said its the Cafe Racer from hell..... that left me laughing...

Anyway, just gloating....

I love the Crossroads bars on my M2. I thought maybe they were too low at first, but doing minor (and major) adjustments to the Crossroads, seating position and peg location made the bike perfect for what I use it for. I'm surprised how the bars and peg risers got the upright M2 riding posture into a more sporting but still tolerable crouch.

Thanks for the pics!!!
Have you tried clip-ons or do you think they would be too low?
I am thinking this will be my next mod.

Yes, I made the dash...

On this bike, no clip-ons... on another X1 my buddy owned... yeah, but, he didnt have rear sets... and, I am not that tall... period..

For me, at my hieght(5'8), this is perfect... feels completely balanced....

I hate to keep asking questions, cause I know you are out riding.

Did any cables have to be lengthened or shortened or was it abolt on and go type of deal?
