Over the past couple of weeks, I have been having worsening pain in my neck and lower back, So I decided to go back to stock bars on my bike to make for a more comfortable riding position.
Problem: I have been using non-plugged bars and the internal adaptors for mounting CRG mirrors. I was not going back to stock mirrors, and the adaptors don't work with the plugs in the stock bars - and I didn't want to wait for the cool little adaptor kit that NewBonneville sells - so I put the old think tank to work and came up with the simple solution.
Hacksaw, Stock barend screws, and a beer = CRGs on stock bars!
If you have these adaptors, just hack off about 1/8" of the pointed end of the adaptor. there is still enough slope that the adaptors and their spacers will work on hollow bars, but losing that 1/8" allows you to directly bolt into the stock plugs. No noticeable vibrations up to 90mph.
Pics when I get around to it. (later this week probably)
