Default New bars a comin'...

Put on a little over 800 this past weekend, which confirmed my desire to replace the stock bars on my scoot.

As we all know, this ain't a cheap mod. I've been acquiring the necessary parts.
Already installed the black powder coated levers.
Have the new bars: WO 515, in black.
Ordered Black Pearl cables and polyurethane riser bushings.
Currently have chrome split vision mirrors, which aren't available in black. Will likely sell these and get a black pair, once I find something I like.

Then it's on to blackening the front end and engine guard...

Put black Heritage-style bars on my RGU last week - makes a world of difference!

Unless you got real short arms, you'll love the 515s. Put mine on last year, just the right pullback and not to high. I tried positioning them may ways but found straight in line with the forks worked and looked best. I can kick back into the backrest with these are am very comfortable.

Well, my knuckles don't drag when I walk... much.

A friend has the 515s on his CVO Glide and they feel comfortable to me. I'm looking forward to the change.
