I removed my bat weights on my 05 many many years ago never noticed a difference , mt 2011 also has the weights removed,

Okay to get gauges closer to the front (backside of bars as you sit on the bike) does it need a bracket of some sort?

There should be a bracket with the bars. I just had to find an additional nut and bolt and bobs your uncle!! Really pleased with mine. Took a couple of hours but I am no mechanic.

For gauges I used the bracket provided which has them up a little too high, no big deal. Move the bars into position you want them and adjust the bracket by hand by pushing down on the gauges until you’ve a small gap between them and the bars.

The cat doesn’t look too impressed to be fair!

Just a bar related question while I’m here,I also have a pair of these to go on when my front end goes back together. Can you reuse the old bar weight ends as the threaded insert in the old bars don’t seem to want to part company.

The T bars I sell have a M6 threaded bush in the end of the bars ...the stock bar ends have a long M6 Allen head bolt that goes straight through into the bush in the bar end

Guys I appreciate the quick response , with me being like a kid at xmas with parcels I just ripped it apart and removed the bars and threw the rest away in the trash and as today is pick up day I was out dumpster diving and found the bracket

What is the most common way for the gauges -behind or in front? I kind of like them in front or am I weird(oh boy here it comes)

Mine are between the bars and tank, but I'm going to move them to the other side when I move the brake line
