Bought a set of Crossroad bars off of a wrecked bike. Powder coated and installed them.

Looks Great [up]

How do you like the more aggressive feel in the ride stance? Also any clearance issue with the bar ends hitting the air box cover?
 
Looks great, when are we riding! Did you end up putting washers under the two rear bolts?

That is what I had to do on BuellChicks bike since the guy I bought them from lost the spacers. Hers are 0 deg-Crossroads.

Yeah, his didn't come with them either...they came with mine so we didn't know if they were necessary or not.
 
Without the spacers the bolts will bind up and not sit correctly for sure. At first I didn't have the washers in and was like WTF, once I realized I needed the spacers it was all good.
 
is it necessary to do a clutch cable re route? i just got the same bars and have the bike ripped apart right now to get repainted, i would like to drill before he repaints so i dont eff it up.
 
Pics from the front to see how the -7 looks coming at you??? please [confused]

such a great product!

Thanks!! I took my bike around the block after I installed the bars, but I am going riding today. I cant wait to see how the bike feels with the new bars in the twisties!! I turned the bars full left and right and had no issues with the bar ends hitting the air box.

I believe you dont have to re-route the clutch cable. I did it because I didnt like the way the clutch cable is routed between the bars and the dash.
 
Looks great, love the crossroad bars! I put the 0 degree bars on my buell awhile back and love the cafe racer feel they have. Did you have to reroute the throttle cable as well? I had to do that on mine, it seemed like the cable placement was kinking and causing the throttle to stick.
 
I dd not reroute my clutch cable. Nor did I put in spacers. Have 7000miles like that with no issues.
