Factory Five Roadster Hydroboost Brakes Install Side Bars

Once you've marked the side bars, transfer your marks to the center of the side bar and drill a 1/2-inch hole at each of the four marks. The instructions state to remove the side bars from the windscreen for fear of a regular drill bit catching in the soft brass. If you use a step drill bit, you can easily drill a small hole and sneak up on the 1/2-inch dimension without having to remove the side bars from the windscreen-one less step and less chance of stripping those small screws you've already installed.
