I bought the relatively inexpensive handlebar brace kit and pad for my Scrambler, thinking it would take about 10 minutes to install. Then after I got home and opened everything, I find the intructions run for several pages, starting with procedures like "disconnect the battery, remove the right handlebar weight, remove the grip, remove the throttle cables, remove everything else on each end of the handlebars, etc." It seems that the small metal braces that come with the set have to be slipped into position by first removing EVERYTHING that's in the way, on both left and right sides of the handlebars, such as the mirrors, hand grips, throttle controls, switch housings, etc. Why didn't Triumph design a brace that has 2-piece mounting hardware for the handlebars, rather than what comes with the set? This will take quite a while to fix, and I may have to order a replacement rubber hand grip for the left side after I probably have to tear off the stock left side grip. What a pain!
