Handle bar HELP!!
Can anyone point me towards some instructions on how to install a pair of 12in West Coast t bars on my 2015 street bob?
I have the service manual but there has got to be a better way than bleeding the breaks and taking the tank off.
If anyone can point me in the right direction i would greatly appreciate it!

Street bob should not require any brake line, clutch cable, or throttle cable replacement. IMO, remove the throttle cables from the housing. Find control switches and turn signal connections in frame tunnel and disconnect. Remove turn signals from clutch and master cyl perch and let hang from bars. Carefully unclamp clutch perch and master cyl perch and carefully let hang. You should be able to unbolt bars now with switches and turn signals attached and set off to the side. With bars and switches on bench swap everything to new bars. Reverse steps to install.

Here's a video from YouTube I found that might help. He has two more you can watch if you go to his page. You don't have to take the tank off but he did. You can access the cover from underneath just look at the manual to understand how it un clips. I just loosened all the bolts for the tank and stuck a rag under it so I could lift it back a little and up high enough to work under it. And I'm pretty sure since your bike is newer you won't have to de-pin the conections. I think they're smaller and fit thru the bars. Good luck!
