hey guys got a bit of a situation. gots pulled over last night on my way home from work and the motocycle cop informed me my bars were too tall!!!! SH^T!!!!!! i just recabled and internal wired these bars in april, but the law states riders hands cant be above the shoulders, mine were close to eye level.....woops. anyway i was hoping to score some of the SB take-offs you guys have layin around. i measured last night and i need atleast 3in to comply with the "MAN" i have 16" and i think the SB are 12"??? so if ya got a bar you'll sell for cheap i want them and i only have 5 days to get it done according to the man which isnt great so i'll pay extra for 2 day S&H to get them by friday. please help me out fellas!!! thanks in advance

 

Great, just what I wanted to hear!!! I'm in the process of puting 16"s on my Lowrider. How much was the ticket & how tall are you? Where were you when you got the ticket?

 

The SB bars are 10" not 12". Take a look at this link for factory bar dimensions.

Were you sitting as tall as you can?

 

what a freakin stupid law !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that sucks. lucky here in ohio.they do not mess with bikers with big apes. [sm=WTFsgign.gif]

 

im 6ft live in arizona and it was just a fix it ticket to fine, but sucks really bad and the best part the week before i got hit for my very first speeding ticket also by a moto cop and he asked about the bars but said it was 18" so i was like cool i got 16" but this cop yesterday was nice but showed me in the book the law. very stupid law and if the SB bars are 10" thats cool to i got a couple diff length risers i could play with.

 

When I bought my bars the lady told me the cops in the E.Valley ticket for apes. Guess she was right. What about rolling the bars back (lower) & fighting the ticket. Have you tried calling any of pro-biker lawyers to see if you have any options other than changing bars?

 

CHECK THE LAWS IN YOUR STATE TO MAKE SURE HES NOT JUST GIVING YOU SCHITT

ya i pulled them back last night, still a lil tall but really uncomfortable!!!! the cop showed me the law in the book so i think he's not bein a di^k and i never thought about callin the bike lawyer???? i just might have to do that this morning

 

alright guys i checked the law and its what it is, i also check the SB bars to my drag spec 16" and theres a pretty good mix just 6" shorter but i got sum 4" risers thati can cut down to 3 or 2.5in and if they tag me again i guess i'll put the stock risers back on. so i need some SB bars its going to be close but i hope i can keep my SS cables they cost alot of $$ and there only 4 mo old. shoot me a price you want and i'll pay extra for 2 day S&H please help me out........

 

How much would the ticket be? Would you still have to change your bars?, What part of town were you in?
I know it'd be a pain in the butt, but what about buying a set of 1" dia. 14" bars, switch them out for the courts and then switch them back.I would think 14" would keep you legal. Your cables would be a little long temporarily, but it'd get you through the ticket and the bars only cost about $50.

Are you running Chubby's right now or 1" dia. bars?
