With a few requests for pix i snapped a few tonight for ya.



Side shot so you can see how far forward and down they are.


Had to drill a hole to put clutch cable threw. Its a tad tight but it was leaking at the crimp by the primary so i ordered a new uly cable for alittle more slack. I still need to install it.




Throttle cable and brake line.


Front shot


HIDs WHAT!!

I honestly have no idea if those would work or not.

Congratulations, very nice!
Take care with with brake line on the forks, with time it will damage the fork and brake line (friction between them).

Thanks for the pics. I've been thinking about doing this on my XB.

That comment about the brake line might be worth paying attention to. Something as simple as a couple wraps of bicycle innertube held in place with zipties would give protection and would be easy to inspect/replace as wear occurs.

Really im not worried about the brake line. Its not touching the forks its just how it looks in the picture. If you look at the banjo i flipped around compared to stock. (points in vs out) to do this i had to twist the line to get it how i wanted it. No its not bound up or overly tight.

Did you have to modify the CRG Brake lever to keep from locking up the front brakes?

No. I havent had any issues with them at all. They are the new RC2 levers. Is it a common problem or what?

Not an issue on CRGs or Pazzo levers- they are designed properly. Only the cheapo Chinese levers have that issue.

Good i was gonna say the crg levers were $150 at my shop cost vs. The $30 ebay ones. They better not lock up the front wheel!

If you put a tube frame lever/ZTL2 lever on a ZTL (XB) master cylinder, it will lock up the brakes.

If you put a ZTL (XB) lever on a ZTL2 or Tuber master cylinder, it won't lock up the brakes, but will flop around a bit a light up your brake light regardless of you applying the brakes.

The XB cam is a bit shorter than the Tber/ZTL2 cam.

The cheap chinese levers have piston cams that are poorly shaped and don't roll onto the piston correctly as it moves through travel. I suspect they could lockup the ZTL brakes, but probably just give poor feel on the ZTL2 or tubers.
