I have to admit that the solution mount thing cleans up the cluster of cables, especially on a dual sported bike, BUT... it is not very solid, Mr Cycra!
I had a very little washup in the sand, I did not even stall and left right away, except the handguard was point way up. I could not bend it back, as hard as I tried. And that was not really good, because my clutch lever (yes, the new one) was left exposed for the rest of the ride.
Well tonight I tried to readjust the handguard and realized that the horizontal bar in the middle is badly bent upward at the tip where the handguard is attached.
I managed to adjust it by loosening the 2 x 4 bolts that attach the U clamps to the bar, and rotating the clamps forward, one side (the one by the bent tip) a bit more forward.
Aluminum may be easier to billet but in this instance, it is obviously not strong enough to sustain torsion from the steel handguard mount. Whatever method they used to manufacture the steel handguard mounts, they need to use it for that middle bar.
I will post photos, to illustrate my point.
