Ok, so I just completed doing this and it was way easier than I thought. I guess since I was not lowering the bike and just adding the spacers it was much more easy to do. I did not need a jack, just had it on the rearstand. As others had mentioned, once the chrome caps were removed (Used a tiny flat head, and tapped it with a small hammer to get it in, and just did that around until the cap popped off, used tape around the top ones as they are in deeper. None were messed up, thank goodness). Once the caps were off, I removed the bolts, lifted up the cover and slid the spacers in, and used the bolts that came with the spacers, and reused the original washers. The spacers were 1 inch spacers, but I already had Heli-bars, so I had to get them cut down to 3/4 of an inch (friend has a machine shop) which is the size most others have found to work with Helibars. I do get a little rub a full chock (Not on the windshield though), where the levers are attached rub a little. I think I will just adjust it alittle and it should work fine. However without adjusting I was still able to do tight u-turns, I just had rubbing when I was pulling out of a parking space. I must say at first I did not think it did much of a difference, but after I actually rode, I could tell I was in a more comfortable position, so I would say it was a worth while mod so far. I will know next week, as I will be riding about 400 miles. Thanks for all the advise, as usual this forum is awesome!
