I forgot that switching to a radial master would contact the meter bracket…
I could restrict the steering angle, but there’s not much clearance left before the handlebar lock.
When I lift the meter, it contacts the screen. Moving the cowl is out of the question…
The key points are:
• Minimize modifications • Be able to return to stock • Preserve handlebar lock • Need freedom in lever positioning. High-performance parts are only worth it if they can be mounted in a usable position; otherwise stock is better. Unless it’s purely for looks…
The meter bracket has three mounting points; the front right one was contacting, so I cut and relocated it.
Even so, it still contacted the meter panel, so I cut the plate and bypassed it with a round rod.
That solved it. Now the left side was hitting, so I cleared that too.
The ETC antenna had nowhere to go, so I relocated that as well.
The sponge doesn’t cut cleanly, so I left it as is and locked it down—no problem squeezing the brake and clutch.
The handlebar lock is fine too. I’ve done a little secret work on it.
It would be tough to lose the handlebar lock just from swapping the master.
Now I can get to the main topic.
