tried to put a set of the star model on my 450r this afternoon, to no avail. I understand that you have to loosen up the throttle ssem./brake perch and slide things apart a little, no problem on the throttle side. On the clutch side, it seems it won't work because the stock clutch/parking brake assem. is just to wide. i slid the clutch perch closer to the inside of the bars, but the actual clutch lever is molded to work around the light switch/starter/kill switch assem. When I slid it closer to the inside of the bars, the clutch lever wouldn't fully engage because it's travel was shortened when hitting the swtich assembly. I understand that alot of riders replace the assembly with just a clutch perch, but I'm not gonna go through all that trouble just to mount some hanguards. Any advice appreciated, or am I out of luck ? Be advised, I tried every which way the directions stated, just couldn't get the clutch side to work right. Seems they need a longer arm with their kit or something for clearance issues. Thanks!!
