When I find the time...I'll do that work on the bike.

For now I installed my plate as I didn't want to push my luck 2x riding without a plate on the bike, or registration, or insurance docs on me.

@LBV is correct. Those are the stock bars. I'll swap them over when time allows on a rainy day. Doesn't look overly complex, but I also don't want to rush it.

EDIT: Ugh...looks like I need to drill into the new bars to mount things back on. May hold off on that until end of season to get it done with no pressure / rush.

I have a handlebar drill guide if you decide to drill. Honestly not much more helpful than without, since I started with a pilot hole that's so much smaller than the guide hole. Maybe that was unnecessary but old habits die hard. Some of the locating pins on my bike are molded into the plastic switch housing and I didn't want to snip them off. I recommend at least drilling for the throttle so you don't end up with it spinning and no throttle if the housing comes loose in the middle of nowhere. That or always keep the correct tool to tighten the housing at all times - 8mm socket?).

Hoping to go for a ride north on Sunday. But the front brake is rather mushy still….

Stay in a lower gear and you’ll be fine. I think I rode like that for 10 years on my first few VStroms:)

Zip tie on. What exactly is the purpose of this method?

Based on the pics so far, there looks to be a high point in the line that us above the master, I couldn't find a DUC corp picture of a Scrambler with this arrangement. I have found high spots always make bleeding difficult.

Ive never tried the zip tie witchcraft, It won't work if air is trapped above the master. I figure brakes are worth fixing right -- just bleed them.

Googling 2019 Scrambler Icon, all of them appear to be the same. Standard dirt bike style crossing over to the left caliper. With the bike on the side stand and bars turned full left, the master should be the high point.

I found the same thing, all pics from Duc sites show lines head south from master.
