Took my top triple clamp, risers and new Bars over to Ben (Exben) at Extreme Creations on Thursday for him to put it all together. All I can say for anyone thinking of drilling them yourself think again unless you've got a fairly set up workshop.

To do mine Ben had to machine off the speedo mounts, drill and tap a new single 10mm hole into the risers to replace the 2 bolts arrangement my risers had as they were to wide for the triples then put helicoils into the risers, also drilled and tapped a new hole to put a bracket for a new speedo.

Saved so much time and fucking around!

Big thanks to Exben!

Oh and was lucky enough to meet Large while I was there....can't figure out why he's called Large though!?

Ben should start charging him rent the amount of time he spends there! Large, get a job.;)(Yes, even a smiley so you don't get upset.)


I've got a job,

It keeps me occupied for about 3-4 hours or less a day, Ben keeps me amused for a couple of hours a few times a week, the interwebs keeps me occupied for 4-5 hours a day and working on my bikes about an hour a day.

Alcohol fills in the gaps[:p]
