First to put T-Bars on a Lowder S?
Wtf!!!!
for $200 you could have had a set of 16" apes and new cables. i just dont get what is going on with the "new model" mods. absolutely f that, crash/sell that mother and get an older bike?
OP - bike looks killer. Nothing good ever came without a little bit of elbow grease...lol

Well that sucks, i ordered some 12" wct-bars a few months ago and they just turned up.
Was thinking about putting them on in the next few weeks. Guess those plans are shattered.
On their website it says this:
Top Crossbar: 1 1/4" swaged (tapered) down to 1" diameter. Both sides have 1/2" holes punched for internal wiring. (Fits conventional controls) - Cross width is 28" across and has a 2 1/4" pullback. The throttle side tubing at 1" is honed out and notched for fly by wire The (2) - 3/4" holes in middle of the bar are made to be centered for the 3 1/2 spacing of the risers.
Is that a load of *****?

Ummm.... no. This bike kicks ***. An FXR would be bitchin' but I like what the MOCO is putting out these days. It is almost half the challenge of modding the new model and half making it what I want it. What's the point if there isn't a little bit if a challenge? LoL

I may not be a MOCO guru but I know bikes and did the research before buying.

Just got home after having a stress-out... opened up the handlebars box, the throttle side is indeed notched for throttle-by-wire.
Stress relief.
Guess you got a half-assed bar where they forgot to notch it

it does look great
but i know how hard internal wired bars are to install even when it all go's right. i do respect mechs who do it right "once" regardless of the cost. im always trying to "just get it done" and ride. thanks for keeping my opinion meaningless! Respect

Dude, I would call them if I were you. If those bars aren't notched (and I doubt they are) than you are going to do some pretty heavy modifying to make them work. Again, it was an oversight on my part WCTB is a great company and I have no real reason to talk trash about them based my two transactions with them.
