Finally got the Barkbuster hand guards back on my #Triumph. It took me so long to get to it because it involves drilling and slotting the plugs the hand guards mount to. (The stock bars have threaded inserts welded into their ends that the hand guards previously mounted to, but these aftermarket bars don't have those.) #motorcycle
Glad I'm finally comfortable with using the cutting wheel of my #Dremel at full speed. It didn't take very long at all to do the slotting through the aluminum plugs!
(Extra mirrors to be removed when I get time.)
This is interesting.
