drilling for db bars

ok, so ive got my clip-ons off and my bike is ready for db bars, how do i know where to drill in my triple clamp? do i just measure the distance from the center of each fork and mark the center then even the distances from the th inside of the db risers and drill there? does this make sense? i need help, thanks

Pretty much... It's almost never perfect. But if you have any brains I think you'll be alright.

What kind of risers btw???

Re: drilling for db bars

yeah, measure it, eyeball it, trace the bar mounts on the tripple with a sharpie, have a friend hold them and step back and look at them. measure 19times, drill once...err..twice cuz there are 2 holes. yeah. We spent like 10-15min on mine and they came out perfect.

I didnt keep the bars, but they were straight while they were on. You'll be alright, and if not, just buy a new top clamp on ebay and retry.
