Can someone tell me if this is just a snap on piece or if it gets bolted on somehow. If anybody has a top view photo of this, that would be nice too.

Yikes, just noticed you said 2005.

From the factory on 1999-2004, there is one bolt that screws it onto a tab on the factory bars.

After your first day of riding and the factory bars are bent, you will not find a replacement set of bars with the tab. But not to worry, it stays securely snaps onto aftermarket 7/8" bars.

I am not sure about 1 1/8" bars though nor have I looked at it on a 2005.

Meh...

Just ditchit. I saw on here, someone did a sweet hood install of the key switch and the neutral/reverse light.

I have mine down in the hood mounted to the crossbar, but im planning on relocating to the hood pretty soon.

I went through the same deal when I ditched the stock bars.
Mine arent bent though, so If you need some straight ones I have a set.
