I have a question for you if you do....

 

I do, I love them. Ask away!

 

Thanks. They look good installed. I had two questions...

First, I have a 3" tank lift. Looking at yours, can you tell if I will have clearance with the bars or will I need to remove the tank lift? How much rise is there from the base of the riser up to where the bars "T"? It looks like its about 6" or slightly more.

Second, how far back do the bars come? If you were to drop a plumb line down from the end of the grips, where would it bisect the console? I'm looking for something between the gas cap and console switch; the further back the better.


I appreciate the feedback.

Oh yeah...did you go with different length cables? I have +6 SS lines from my apes I was going to reuse unless they turn out to be way too long.

 

I had the buck horn stock handlebars, didn't have to get longer wires at all. Thebike came with stainless steel cables when I bought it so I can only assume they were stock length. As for pullback, they are definitely closer to me. Tomorrow morning I will give you a better idea of where they would be related to the tank, and post another reply. The bars changed the whole feel of the bike, my posture, and the look. I highly recommend them if you like the look. They are pricey, but they are top quality, and the way they bolt on is pretty cool, and clean looking.

 

from the end of the grips, a line across would be right at the front of the switch, front being between the switch and the gas caps. The distance from the bar and the speedo housing is 2 1/2 inches at full turn of the front wheel. Assuming the year of your bike would be the same design as mine, your tank lift should still work, because you only lifted the front, the angle should move it away from the bars anyway. I didn't answer your questions exactly but if you want some pics, tell me what angles to shoot. Wild One has good customer service so they may be able to tell you if they will work for you. Scott

 

That helped a lot. Thanks. The bars are more important than the tank lift so if it comes to dropping from 3" lift to 2" or just removing it entirely, so be it.

You didn't need any kind of adapter rings or anything, right? For example, the Deuce requires those adapters for Chubby bars.

Nice wheels by the way. What are they?

 

i am interested also, i have a 95 springer with stock buckhorns, and want drag bars that fir the stock springer risers, and dont want to change the cabels. are yours just the bars, or the bars with differnet risers. Thanks. lUKE

 

I'm planning on changing, too. I've been looking at the Wild1 Chubbys Springer pullback risers, #WO531 and the #WO565 Springer drag bars. The looks of them on the black '03 springer on their website are great, in my opinion...

I like the WO512, with no riser. I want to use the stock riser, however I dont know if it would be to much of a reach, i want a Badlander seat with them also. I wonder how comfortable it would be?
