all stock wiring and hydraulics. I’m sure the cable clutch could be left stock as well. Those are 12’s. 14’s would be great too. I’m honestly thinking since they are narrower you could maybe even get away with 16’s on the stock harnesses and hoses if you were creative and got every bit you could out of them for slack. 14’s would be easy though.

All the geometry is dead on what most T bars are. Just none of the hassle.

tons and tons of welded bars on the market. I know the ones you speak of though. Yes, dangerous as hell and there’s nothing quite as puckering as having one come off in your hand going down the road. You’ll end up with a wrecked bike with a fresh hole in the seat.

I did run my scope down through these though. The welds look good. With rubber or poly bushings I don’t see there ever being a problem.
