You're in Austin, right? I'm in Georgetown and have all the tools to do it in about 1 hour. Mine took slightly longer, but it was my first time to work on the FJR.
I suppose you could, I didn't consider it because I didn't want to damage the original triple clamp.. I free handed the drill and got off center on the first screw. It was time consuming to get back to center, but not that hard. The second one was easy.
+1 on that, worked very well for me. I also highly recommend that you also center punch the bolts as well to keep the drill bit from "wandering", that and take your time.Drilling the screws was the hardest part. Next time I will use a drill press. I supported the bike with a jack under the headers to keep the steering stem in alignment. It was all cake really, just follow the instructions and it will all make sense when you see it. Pay close attention to the torquing process and values.
I am in Houston. I am new to riding so getting together to do the work is not an option as I don't have the expeiance to take it on the buisy roads yet.You're in Austin, right?
