Default Wild 1 Chopper T-Bars Installed
Just finished the bar swap on my SG from stock buckhorns to Wild 1's 8" Chopper T-Bar. Also re-located the signals below the triple clamp and installed Heat Demon grip warmers. De-pinning the connectors was a pain in the ***, as some of the pin release tabs were deformed a bit, but most of the install went pretty smooth. Kept all stock wiring and cables with little trouble making it all fit. Clutch may be slightly long but ok. Also added new Arlen Ness Slot Track Grips, and DK Customs Canyon Carvers pegs.

Took her out for a quick spin this evening and the difference in hand/arm position is amazing. Couldn't be happier. The pegs feel pretty good too. Not blown away by the way the harley signal relocation kit looks but it is well made. Might rig something up myself so they don't stick out so far... Here's a few pics...

The bars look great. They seem like one of the more comfortable t-bar options with a bit more pullback. Nice.

Bars look real good! I am putting a set of 10" ones on my Wide Glide as we speak. I will have to post some pics when done.

Did you have to replace the brake line or the throttle cables?

Nope. All stock still and a pretty good fit...
