Here's how the mock up/template came out...

BTW, reasoning of why I'm doing this.... :blink: I'm wanting to do away with the handle bar switch controls especially on the right hand grip side where the master reservoir has to be mounted... On the left grip side, fabbing a small turn signal switch and horn only bar enclosure. More on this later.

Should keep everything nice and tidy... B)
