That's a bummer and a pain (for your shin!).  At least the cover is something that can be swapped in easily.  Sorry I don't have a spare or I'd send it.

Super bummer. Also, the Apex riser clip ons won't work for my setup :( The clamps don't clear the tank. It's miserable to ride more than an hour with the stock clip ons. I will investigate drilling the top triple tree to set up bar clamps.

Do you think the Woodcrafts will have the same issue?

The way that they clamp to the fork seems very similar. I would be surprised if they cleared.

Another solution, but it ain't cheap - swap your triples for a set of Devin's new increased offset - back to stock. That should give you clearance.

+1, and it'll also improve it's handling. ;D

I'll anxiously await a package from California around Christmas time ;)

Seriously, I gotta step away from the 750 for a little while, a it's taken over my spare time the last two years. I'll revisit the whole situation in the spring. I still wish I could get great photos of that paint...it's just so deep. In the meantime, I've been bombing around on the Urinal (as Terry likes to call it!). It's a hoot to ride! I just picked up this motor to swap into it.
I gotta at least re-seal the top end and clean it up. Hoping the bottom end is good. Has about 50k on it.

That's a nice looking lump of an engine Seth, and even if the big end bearings are shot (I'll bet the mains are still good though) it's not a big job to change them. What are you gonna run for carbs? Cheers, Terry. ;D

Yeah mate, I'm not a fan of Bing's, but Mikuni's are great carbs and cheap to buy new. There's probably a kit available, or else Murray Feldman in NC could do a kit for you? Cheers, Terry. ;D
