Got the Z-bars installed with help from a good friend. Thanks to JaronB for suggesting on dropping the tubes in the trees to gain clearance. I still plan on replacing the upper tree, if it ever arrives. The 90 degree portions of the bars were enough to give you a headache. Didn't have to change any wiring or cable lengths.

 

How high are those? They look good but I would roll em forward just a bit to give it a little attitude.

 

Looks great, though I do kinda like chrome bars with a chrome front end...How much higher than stock are they and what brand?

 

Thanks for the compliment. They are 12 high and 30 from tip to tip. Not really sure on pullback, if I had to guess about 3.5 inches. I probably will roll them forward, right now I am getting alot of vibe through the bars. It also feels like the wheel wants to collapse and requires a little more pressure on the bars at lower speeds and in turns. I think it is because I dropped the tubes in the trees. Once my upper tree and risers come in I will put the tube back to spec and mess with positioning. Right now I am not really sure how much I like them other than looks right now. I will reserve judgement until parts come in and get installed.

 

Thanks for the compliment, I do believe they come in chrome. I got them from Lick's Cycles(Fatty Aped Zs-stepped), they are short on supply and it took about four weeks to get here once I ordered them. They are only about two inches higher than stock, but with less width and pullback.

 

Bad ***, now push them forward.

 

sick bars!

 

Just a shout out to jaronB as well... he's helped me out w/ some stuff..

Damn ! I don't think I'd be riding it . I guarantee it's not the bars .

 

jaysonL,

I should have clarified a little more on the problems. I was comparing them to the stock bars. Compared to the stock bars I get more vibe, and the wheel requires more countersteering (wheel collapse) than stock. I don't think it is enough to warrant not riding, but I do not think that it should remain like it is. I think that the problem is from raising the trees up and the forktubes down. Once my new upper tree comes in I can put the tubes back to normal it will solve the countersteering.
