    Good video..it’s the start of winter & working on the ZX. Your video pointed out 3 things I would of screwed up on. I did cut the bolt to be able to lock the bike, I re-routed my wires through the frame, I also used the same type of drill bit..after breaking a normal drill bit. Thank you..well done & im sure you saved issues for many that watched this video. I’m subscribing & a like..Thanks bro!

    I did this in my K5 1000 a few years back. I bought an actual billet top yoke. The feel of the bars and seating position is excellent, the added wind noise is a problem I'm still dealing with. Thinking about switching the bars back to stock.

    2:30 possibly a shorter bolt? also I use tinfoil under my control clamps, just spray some adhesive glue on one side and use the tinfoil like tape, it doesn't degrade and actually grips very well. I did this same project to my 05 cbr600RR. Excellent video and thank you for sharing a step by step video it's going to help allot of people out, I wish I would of made a video on mine for others to learn.

    Great idea and good of you to share it but I was cringing looking at the process and damage done, best technique is to take some more time measuring and remove the triple clamp so you can drill it in a press and get it perfect, sound idea though, I doubt it will weaken the triple clamp too much.

    Good effort and video quality, but you should have took the top part of the triple tree clamp off and have a machine shop do the drilling and to get the alignment right.. the way the right hole is notched and the amount of hardware store washers used is crazy lol
    That bike is supposed to be ridden at high speeds in the canyons.. and your life is trusted by those small washers and that oval hole.. I would honestly replace the triple tree clamp and do it right the first time especially something that takes a large about of force and your life depends on it. Ride Safe

  • @usfootman
    @usfootman 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Top clamp is actually weak and flimsy, are you sure this mode is safe enough? I was thinking to do same thing to my bike but those safety concerns stopped me.

    Just buy a kit with a proper top clamp/ flat plate. It will have the correct risers and washers and the same for the fairings.
