    Bug,

    I got mine on last night... (set I bought a while back from Cobia.)

    Lucked out when it comes to the "choke lever"... XJ's have a cable from the handle bar, left side... so no problem.

    But I have the same situation with the petcocks. Mine have no cut-outs... look just like yours in the picture. May have to remedy that...

    I also have crash bars and nice forward pegs that are real back savers on long rides... looks like I can still use them, but the lowers are definitely in the way some...

    But they should be real nice this winter!

      You DO luck out with the choke like that. I had forgotten that the XJ's was on the handlebars! I have pegs on mine too, but no crash bars, so the pegs are much closer to the engine. Basically makes it so they are unusable with the lowers installed. I haven't decided yet, but I will either remove the lowers when the weather warms up or look for crash bars and pegs to mount further out from the engine.

        I like this one, with the slot for the choke handle. I can't tell if the slot was factory or not, but it looks cool, IMO. It retains the large "tail" while still granting clean access to the lever.
