Default Z bars for Bob

Do you think I can put these z bars on without changing any cables? They're 12' tall, but only 31' wide. I believed the stocks are 10' tall and about 34' wide.[IMG][/IMG] They're available from http://www.lickscycles.com/catalog/p...oducts_id=1193

i'm not positive, but if those are the numbers for both, it sounds like you'll be ok not changing cables. If you're going to run the wires internally, you may have to extend them though.

Z bars have been around alot longer than Chica. Not saying that I don't like his work, because I love it. I just wish he didn't charge $800+ for the "new" Invader wheels that I need for the chopper.

I know, I know, it's just every time I see one of his bikes they all seem to have those same bars. Must be his industrial/nihilist Japanese heritage, very rigid and defined.

Nope, everything fit perfect. The wiring is long enough to run it internally also. And the brake line is bent just right to follow the lines of the bars.
