do you have a top pic of that tricky?

I looked at my stock turnplates and Im not seeing enough meat for that left hand most forward hole..

squarenose turnplates though.. maybe different?

also.

why not like the bar clamps up parralell and use some straight aluminum tubing, that takes another inch off right?

I think I saw a similar setup on a yellow ski from watercraft factory?

He cut his plate shorter,then drilled and tapped 4 new holes. It looks like the rear holes were not tapped, since they have acorn nuts on them, unless those are to keep from cutting his knees if he ever slams his bar on his leg.

If he wants straight bars all he has to do is drill two more holes in line with the rear holes and voila. straight bars can be installed. But he still has his stock bars on, u can tell by the grips. Maybe he likes the stock bend


pretty simple. I have a stock squarenose turnplate with clamps and bolts and all the bushings etc. $25 and its yours
