The parts from order date till received was only something like 6 days via Express Mail Service out of Japan. I installed everything Saturday night and just took a test ride today. Depending on where you have the bars positioned they are raised by over an inch and back about the same. They are also angled a bit straighter. For me the result is perfect. I'm now in a completely neutral position with maybe a slight forward lean that offsets the wind blast. Really ideal. Another side effect is that the bike turns easier as my weight isn't as much on the bars making it easier to counter steer. The bike feels like a mini-motard now
Really fun! And they do look cool!
The cost of the parts plus shipping out of Japan did run about $300 so not cheap. I tried to get them from the dealer in Jakarta for $60 plus shipping but he kept dragging his feet.
Installation was pretty straight forward. You do need access to a big vise or a press since you have to press in the handlebar rubberized mounts into the top clamp. The rest of it was just swapping parts. I bought the throttle cables since the part#s were different but turned out I didn't need them. The originals worked fine. You do have to use the MT-03 clutch cable and brake line since they're longer or you could get an aftermarket brake line I would imagine. You also have to drill out the two screws that mount the ignition switch to the top clamp. They are security screws and have no way to unscrew them. That only took a few minutes to do and I had a couple of spare screws laying around that fit. Next I'm going to shop around for a couple of regular mirrors and get rid of the fairing mounted ones.
All and all a worthwhile project.
