Will and I did that. Bars felt much better low, not straining my shoulders. May try with some packers to see what  they would be like a bit higher.

Handy jig that. I've often bought handlebars only to find them to be useless once fitted.
BTW  Chewie seems to have aged a bit recently Wink

Angled the bars up a bit tonight, they don't dead leg me now! Fitted a couple of conical bump stops for the steering. And played a bit with some braided flexible brake pipe for the front brakes, think that will be ok through the bars and down the centre of the headstock.

So here is a couple of pics of the bump stops. They sit at an angle above the rad grills and the bottom yoke nicely lands against them. Will need a small piece of reinforcing steel behind to stiffen them up.

Can you get the wires past it ok from the switch gear? Assume you got a switch for brake light also?

Yep, wires go through ok. The brake light switch is broken, may fit a new one, or may put a hidden pressure switch in lower down. Playing with that tomorrow maybe.

I've never thought of using rubber bump stops -I've always used stainless ones. Makes more sense though.
Love the BMW grille panel.
