I mentioned in another post about putting a new handle bar set up on my bike, well today I got the final piece and just finished putting them all on. I got a top clamp from Precision Engineering, Buell traction grips from American Sport Bike, and some superbike bars from ebay. Also I bought a new choke cable from American Sport Bike, replaced the breather filter I had with a coke can that my wife painted black for me, and lastly I put a clock on my dash so I know what time it is when riding. Here are some pictures of this stuff.    Unfortunatly I can not ride it until tomorrow because when I was putting my carb back on I broke one of the head breather bolts. | ||

Hey man dont throw away those crossroads you had. let me take em and ill make you a new plate, you know so you have a spare set of bars. trying to ride on sunday. however i need some linkage parts. mine broke. | ||

Yea I have to go when the Harley shop opens to see if they have head breather bolts because I twisted the head off of them. So If they don't have them I will try kays in nolanville If not then I have to order them. | ||

also I have another plate for those bars but it is for the s1 type tank so I was going to put the bars on that plate and see if anyone wanted to buy them on here or I was going to put them on ebay. | ||
| Lovedabueller |
well then still hold that bent plate and i can use it for a template. | ||

hey firebolt...where did you get those turnsignals...me kinda likes em! | ||

The more i see the bolt fairing on a m2, the more i like it. Do you have any pics of how its mounted? | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
Yea I do and all it is is two metal rectangle plates with 4 screws drilled in to it two for the s3 mount on the frame and two for the xb bracket.  as for the turn signals the back ones are from a stock sportster. The front ones im not sure were my dad got them from they were in the his garage. Here is a link were I found them on j&p's web site. http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/476 23/427894.html?1231685723 | ||

Thanks firebolt! I went out and looked, i assume the s3 mounts are the two tubes welded onto the kneck of the bike. How do the headlights compare? | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
yes those two tubes are for mounting the s3 front end as these are the same frames. I never had the m2 head light so I do not know. I bought the bike like that. I know these head lights look just like my old 2003 firebolt I had several years ago. | ||

I just took a little 15 minute test ride and I must say this set up is so much better for me than the crossroads bars were. I don't have to suport my self at all with the handle bars. In fact I barley had any pressure on them at all except to turn. Turning seemed easier. The bike felt almost like I was riding a dirt bike. I feel like I could ride it for ever with out the pains I felt before. I should have done this with I first got the bike. All I can say is WOW! | ||

Nice Job! Are the mirrors XB? They look alittle tipped up and I saw some extra holes around the mounting base. | ||
| Firebolt020283 |
no they are for a ninja. the extra holes were from some funky mirrors that was on it when I got it that you could not see anything out of. that looked like these:  eventually I plan to get a better firebolt fairing and some xb mirrors but for now the stuff I have on there will hold me until then. |
