[sm=icon_ladiesman.gif]Yes, fits surprisingly well. Throttle effort is increased (of course) since you are puling more throttle with less wrist but maybe now I wont almost loop out my street bike after coming off the KLX & its forever stock throttle.

Note--I did not have to remove any mirror, went right on with it there[sm=interesting.gif]

Might have to do with your individual preference in mirror/brake lever rotation? I know I like mine tipped down some for an easier reach when standing, kinda puts the mirror arm farther from the centerline of the bars.

why would you get nice expensive bars and grips, and not reinforced aluminum handguards? [&:]

Maybe his bike isn't prone to narcolepsy?

The new bars look great. I went with the same bend on my WR, the extra height is nice.

FINALLY quit raining & wrapped up my rotor project so I could test this throttle out. Best bang for the buck so far. $30 makes it feel so much more responsive because a little wrist motion actually accellerates you now instead of having to crank on it. Highly recommend. Best part....no readjustment peroid when I go back to my streetbike now
