JAWS bars

1. Move the throttle cable to the outside of the forks.
2. Try to get hold of a 90 degree drill to fit the switches, much easier to get right first time if you can.

Read the instructions twice before you start!

Take your time.

There's been a couple of second hand sets doing the rounds recently, and the sellers don't bother sending the instructions, I had a bod turn up at mine a few weeks ago, "would I fit his set of jaws bars"! they weren't, I don't know who or where he got them from but they were nothing like the quality of the originals, he was a bit pissed off when I showed him mine against his "knock offs"!! :-0) and as far as I know he's still struggling to get them to fit!!:-0)

Just wondering if anyone who has fitted them to their bird has notified the insurance company about the modification?

I bought a second hand set of Taff , bloody brilliant and a piece of piss to fit as he sent the instructions , no need for longer cables , just a bit of careful re routing , happy days
