Changing OEM Bar to T-Bar on 2013 Fat Bob
I really want to change my OEM handlebar and riser to this T-Bar that Harley sells on my 2013 Fat Bob.
http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...-09-5598510--1 I believe I can do the job (swapping bar) myself. My question is, do I need to replace any lines brake line, clutch cable, etc... to achieve this modification. The Harley website doesn't really answer my question. However, if you read under fitment they have this sentence "All models require separate purchase of additional installation components." I'm not sure what this mean. Anyone here with the same model that done this modification? Did you change any lines or cable? TIA |
I would say you should be good. On my 2009 I went from the pullback risers, to adding Wide Glide bars and then finally back to the stock straight risers with the Wide Glide bars. All without changing a single cable.
I did have to rotate the banjo fitting on my front brake reservoir (when using pullback riser and Wide Glide bar) and I replaced my throttle and idle cables due to my stock ones being stripped at the adjusters. |
as long as they're not bigger than 12" or so, you should be totally fine.

According to the web-site, it's 7". |
The fat bob bars are awesome...why don't you look into just changing out the risers or adding a spacer if you want them taller.
I'm in the process of changing bars myself. Remember right now you have the adjustability of turning your bars up or down. You won't have adjustability with the t-bars |

Not compatible for 2013 Fat Bob.
Thanks for the link though. go to ebay or google type in 1 1/4 risers you will find maybe 500 options to pick from, a riser is a riser be sure it is 1 1/4 it will fit if your stock bars are 1 1/4 |
