Just put M-bars on 10 minutes ago. Did them upside down style so that they are lower. They clear the tank by about 3/16" (sorry, not gonna convert that to metric). Riding position looks much less like Mary Poppins now. Feels better on that back to have a neutral spine instead of all arched up with the stock bars. Gonna see how it corners tomorrow when these beers wear off.
A few notes when changing bars. Put a towel on your tank so that the stock mirrors and stuff don't bump it when taking the bars off. I stuck the left grip under the hot water spigot in my laundry sink for 30 seconds. Pulled it out and pulled hard at first, but once the rubber started cooling after another 30 seconds it pulled right off no sweat. Lastly, helps to have someone hanging out with you when you put the new bars on to hold the brake and clutch stuff so they aren't banging around while you adjust. Also helps to have a set of eyes looking at the bike from the front to make sure everything is on straight while you make adjustments. Next up are the bar-ends. Have fun. :upthumb:
