chris642 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 hey, i want to ditch the plastic on the bars. The thing is im cheap, so is it a good idea to drill a hole in the bar that is above the carbs. you know what im talking about, right? i see that its inbetween the frame rails so i was wondering if it was dangerous to do this because maybe it supports the rails when their under stress. so do it or make my own bracket?

sam97 Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 Check Ebay, and pick up a billet key relocater bracket. I bought mine for like $10, and it is aluminum and mounts on the two rear tank bolts. The key stays under the seat. very clean look. I just bought mine and haven't checked, but some companies say that the factory wiring even reaches it. For $10, you can't go wrong.Ebay Hide a Key Auction Hope it helps.
