What handlebars came on your bike stock?

Mine came with stock mini apes and they measure about 12" (maybe 11"...hard to tell exactly) and they are on 1" risers. So my thought was that I could go with the 12" Wild 1 Outlawz and be able to use my stock wiring... that size was comfortable to me on my stocks but I like the way the Outlawz look better and I wanted the wiring internal.

 

Cool. From the looks of the Magnum Shielding website, those Chromite cables do look nice. That's probably the route I will take if my cables are too short for the new bars. Once I know if the switch housing cables will work, that should tell me whether the stock throttle/idle, brake and clutch cables will work also.

If not, looks like I will be buying cables from Magnum Shielding. If anyone knows of any other lines (other than the HD ones), please let me know.

 

Not sure on exact size, I wanna say my stock risers were 6" and the bars were another 4" rise?? I've got 1.5" risers with my 12" apes now. If your bars are that close to your stockers tho, you should be fine.

 

Be careful with that front master cylinder. If you don't keep it level it can leak and will soak through the towels and ruin your paint.

 

I hope so! Lol I guess we will see soon. :::: fingers crossed ::::

 

Oh crap... thanks for the heads up! O was going to move that off the tank but I forgot. I didn't realize it could leak though.... YIKES! That would be a disaster!

 

Your stock cables will likely work on a +2 setup w/o needing to replace them. Your stock bars are 10". I added a +2 riser on a nightster last week and everything reached just fine. Good luck with your project, the bike looks great!

 

Thanks...that makes me feel better. I did find a site ( Side Road Cycles maybe?) that said my stock bars were 10" so I'm glad I am going up a few inches in height.

Now if the bars would just get here!

 

Got the bars in today but of course, nothing can go smooth.

I was able to use feed the wires through the bars, even keeping the stock tubing on them. It was tight but with a little WD40, they finally came through. Also, good news is all my switch housing wires are reaching just fine. But...

Went to put on the bars and what do ya know? My risers won't fit the handlebars. The middle part of the handlebars measures in a 5-1/8". The measurement on the outside of my risers is 5-3/16"... it's off my 1/16".

When I called Wild 1 to order these bars, they said they would fit my stock risers and everything should fit perfect.

Not sure what I do now other than call Wild 1 or get new risers... anyone have any tips? Other than this, I LOVE the way the bars look!

Here are a few pics:

 

Bolt your stock bars, then loosen your lower riser bolts. You should be able to gain that 1/16" no problem. Re-tighten your riser bolts after torquing your clamp bolts.
