Quick update :D

Spent about 2 hours on Saturday afternoon buffering my TT knee bars 8) They had quite a few light scratches when i got them and wanted to get them as near to perfect as possible.

Polished them up with a bit of autosol and boom 8) :

They will be fitted this week at some point :D

Knee bars are fitted :D Very very pleased 8)

They are fitted with some black countersunk anodised bolts so it all sits flush :D

What do you guys think?

Really need to get mine fitted, that gap above the bar just bugs me cos it dont sit flush if that makes sense?

If mine don't look write I might leave them out :?

So you used self tapers in the end?

It's just the way they go on mate, there is no other way of attaching them without having that slight gap at the top.

Once they are bolted on you can hardly see the gap tbh, if you use black bolts that is :)

I used a 4mm allen key countersunk bolt :)

I would definitely recommend fitting them mate, especially the work you've put into shortening them :)
