One of the shop guys at my local Harley dealer indicated that the Harley Heritage bars are a popular alternative to stock Bob bars.

I've got Wild 1 504's. They're fairly low and wide. You can use stock cables etc.

They look nice, how much/where from? Did you use the original brake line? I'm located in the UK by the way.

I got mine from http://www.motorcycleworldl-spa.co.uk/and they were around ÂŁ180 I think.
Expensive but normal for the UK. They had a set in last time I looked. There is a fair bit of pull back though, check the Wild 1 web site for spec.

I used the original brake line. Just needed a slight tweek to the metal pipe adjacent to the master cylinder and the banjo repositioned that's all. The wiring is internal so you have to take the ends off the wiring from the controls - not too difficult, took me about 3 hours for the whole job including beer. PM me if you need more info.

Hello Welsh,

The bar is a modified Super Bar from Custom Chrome #10018. I cut it in halve. Shortened about 2". Black chrome. internal wiringand fit in Sholvelhead handlebars clamp.
Easy mod. stock cables exept brake line (CCI Goodridge, black, 36") and banjos (CCI Goodridge, black, 1 straight 10mm. 1 35° 12mm.).

For the front wheel, here it is:
Stock frond hub and spacers.
Special fabrication stainless steel spokes for 17" rim.
Morad 3.5X17" alu. rim.
Dunlop D205 (Fat Boy Screaming Eagle) 140/75RX17" and the right tube!
Home modified BK Pro Comp 150mm. wide front fender #909349 from Motorcycle
Storehouse in the Netherlands. As you may see that specific fender have the
profile of the rear one. It was one of the reason I choose it!
Rim and special spokes set came from Hann Wheels also in the Netherlands
(www.hannwheels.com).
I did cut the front fender on the front sides for the new Dyna's fork legs.
I also tig welded a right and left 5mm. thick spacers Threated 5/16 UNF (as
you don't have a lot of place!). I'v give them the profiles of the fender
attachement of the legs.
Hope it will help!
It handle like a dream and is very stable at any speed on any kind of road.
If you love it done it you will not be dissapointed and it's a cheap mod!

Gunny.
