Promoto Billet Fastways. I had to finesse the bark busters on both my SM61 and my KLR, but these really didn't fit for shit. I was about to send them back when I read the instructions which said they may have to be bent into shape for any particular motorcycle. A half hour with a 2ft pipe and a bench vice and they fit absolutely perfectly now.

I really like the bar clamp solution to the inboard mounts. It came with nylon washers for the mounts that you can see in the picture, though. I think removing them will let the end mount more solidly. Anybody have any thoughts on the reasons for the nylon washers and why it might be a good idea to leave them on?

Those that have fitted risers or high bend bars. How did you route your throttle cables? I've had to invert the throttle to get the extra length required.

The 990 have much neater wiring run from right hand switch, can this be done on the 950?

Bonz bar clamps are your other option - will work with just about any handguard (cycras pictured here)


(the brake lines are 'long' in this pic because they were in preparation for the 265mm S suspension - but here still with the original 210mm suspension)

If you flip the throttle cables over, keep in mind your drain-hole is now pointing at the sky. (worse than that, any crap is going to drain down your cables, if anywhere). I had planned a proper fix for this when I flipped mine over... but mine still has a snippet of insulation tape that put there over a year ago
