nope, plug and play. although you will notice that the stock clamp will not wrap totally around the superbikes. not a problem. i slowly tighten each of the four bolts so that the top of the clamp is flush with the mount
You bet. Took a couple of pics and added them to my original post. You'll see that I have a riser in the mix, but I had the same issue before adding in a riser
The gap there is normal actually but our superbike bar makes it a bit larger. You tighten up the top bolts first then the bottom bolts to set tension. The biggest thing some don't like about the superbike bar is the gap on the outside edges. It's normal for that bar and doesn't effect the function.
