Thanks, I had this Allen key for a few years now and it served me well, don't know the make or origin of it

I bought a new one from the best tool making company in Slovenia (Unior). I will do my best to get the bolts out before I have to use an open flame on the bike with a full gas tank

Well it took me long enought to get this thing done. SO finaly I have mounted Renthal Dakar High bars to my KLE. The bike put up a fight, but in the end I managed to get it sorted (almost).

1. Old bars comming off:


2. Bars side by side (more one over the other )


3. Test fit to mark where the hole for throttle controls will be drilled


4. 5mm hole drilled, though Renthal does't suggest drilling


5. Almost done. I need to buy 2 bolts for handguards (don't know why the pic is so blury, will post a beeter one in the comming days)


Word of warning for all who want to use Renthal grips, they are a bit to short for throttle side:


Stock cables are long enough, but need a bit of rerouting to prevent binding. I did a few laps in front of the garage and it feels great, but will have to wait a while for proper test as ther is still snow outside. More pictures to follow as sonn as I get those 2 bolts I am missing.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
