yeah if you think you may be removing the clamps down the road, something in between would be a good idea. i didn't put anything in there to protect the tremclad.
yeah you should be able to find a brake lever arm on ebay or somewhere for cheap if you're worried about cutting yours up. Once you get one you can make it look as good as you want with a sawzall or hacksaw and bench grinder. i left mine pretty crude because its not a big concern of mine...
i cut mine out of some scrap aluminum and then had a bud weld it on. here's a couple pics of the process
its worked fine so far...and i've had some close calls where i really leaned on it. Good luck!
yeah I was told that by some folks as well. Maybe some people have had issues with them, but I can only speak for myself. Mine are rock solid. I can stand up and bounce my weight on them, they don't budge. I just finished a full season of riding with them and they worked fine. Of course the...

Here is a couple pics:
Hey that looks great! Not sure if you've tried it yet, but you could always drop the front an inch and mount your clip ons above the upper tree. that might make it more comfortable with the bars higher. I'd probably toss the chain guard too, but it looks good either way.
I wasn't sure about the strength of the fiberglass so I added a couple metal brackets for support, its rock solid now.
I also added a Dyna S ignition and some shorty shocks that I snagged on kijiji for a great price.
Its nice to finally be able to put my feet flat on the ground at stop...
Hey guys, i've been sorta side tracked but figure its about time I update this project thread. Since my last post I've gotten alot closer to completion.
