Keep in mind that the black handlebars may not be conductive, that is, on the chrome ones are/may be more conductive.

The same applies to powder coatings, as I understand the paint must be removed for a good ground or Earthing of the circuits.

A tap for threaded holes works good for paint/powder coating removal, on engine mounting bolts, some fine grit sandpaper scuffing to bare metal followed with an application of the silver anti-seize will greatly reduce the chance of corrosion.

Here's mine with drag bars. There is no tach, I had to reroute the hydraulic lines, and I used a pair of dirtbike top clamps for spacers. Also moved the mirrors to the ends of the bars. Stock bars were bent, drag bars were free. I'm time rich and money poor.

I have a new seat to put on there. That one split this winter while riding in sub zero temps.
Here are some more pics, in no particular order.
