Ok. I got the new wunderlich bars bolted on and the heater lines fed throught the bars but I am not sure what the correct angle for the clutch and brake reservoirs on the bar should be. Can you use the bubbles as a guide somehow? I have tried to look at several pictures of other bikes to get it close, but it is such a pain to get to the nut to adjust this I don't want to have to do it twice. This project is dragging out forever. This is a 2004 r1150r

I have Ricky bars on my `03 and to tell you the truth I wondered about that myself. I've moved the bar position several times and ended up just placing the controls at a position that feels comfortable to me. Close enough I think. It doesn't seem to affect anytning if they're off a bit.

You're supposed to be able to turn the bars to a position that leaves the clutch and brake reservoirs dead-level for refilling. Usually that's at full lock, but I see no reason it has to be.
