Where did you find the KB bar adaptor?

Murphs of course.

  The shot decreased the vibration quite a lot.  There is still some buzz, (but what inline 4 doesn't have) but nothing even close to what it was like before.  It was time and money well spent.
  What type of handlebar are you using, or is there anyone out there who has converted to regular bars have recommendations/knowledge what bar(s) are close to the same angle/setback, etc as the OE bars with risers?  It may be a mod looked at in the future. 

  Jim, I also see in your web photos you have setback plates on your Connie.  How much closer do they bring the bars to you?

Those bars are Daytona GP bars from Bikemaster about $15 to $20. The setback plate is homemade and brings the bars about 1-1/2" closer to the rider. That setup may look unconventional (two sets of KB risers, a KB bar adaptor, and the setback plate) but it works great.
