    Yes, there should be little caps over the allen bolts. They are to prevent rust from happening. Like they are on mine.

    What kind of bars did you get?

    Thanks Dan....got nothing to radical more like the bars that come on the Seca's......not super low but I think these will give me more room in the cockpit...felt a little squeezed with the bullhorns....give it a try anyways.
    Weekend project!

    Okay..... :D got the new bars on....15 min job turned into an hour cuz one screw was seized.....well after 25 years bound to happen......
    Am quite amazed how the handling is so different(better) much easier to corner and just feels sportier.......now waiting for the Voodoo fairing to come on Tuesday.....will load pics when installed

    I had the same issue with my stock mirrors on my Seca. I solved the problem with a set of V Max mirrors. Actually they are EMGO OEM replacements for the V Max. I got them from Dennis Kirk.
