hey guys, i'm new to the forums, I just picked up a rough 300ex and want to rebuild it. starting with the cosmetics first. it runs pretty good but will need help there too.
I have 2 questions to start off:
1. it appears the bar clamps or bar clamp mount is bent. I haven't really figured it out, seems like the bike was rolled and bent the bars and probably the bar clamps? With new bars on it, the steering is still off a bit. Any suggestions where to start first in fixing this?
2. Now, since it was rolled i took the headlight and plasctics off around the bars, what do i need to do to set it up with out a light mounted on front yet clean up the electrical mess running down in front of the bars? Also, ignition key, reverse, neutral lights? Don't most guys get rid of these?
I'd love to see some close-up pics of your guys' bar clamp/electrical setups.
Thanks alot.. there are some sweet bikes on here!
