Anyway, the front fairing mirror bracket was a pain to deal with when I would take the tank off. So I modified it and had the mirror stay sit below the tank and I made some quick release sprint loaded things to hold the tank down.
I still wasn't happy with it. I wanted to not have the fairing stay, but I like my mirrors and don't want a bike with those stupid ones on the bar ends. I think they look ridiculous. I got a 1/4 inch bar of aluminum and started making this.
If I had to do it again I would use the tool I made. I took a 1-2-3 block and put it in my vise threaded screws in and it made it much easier to bent than with the hammer.
On the mount I annealed the the aluminum with a propane torch to keep it from cracking. Worked just fine, You can bend it about 60 degrees before you need to anneal it.
Let me know if you have any questions
