New handlebars and risers
New handlebars and risers
I installed a set of the newer Heritage bars, a 1.5" riser, a
new poly bushings, and a set of nostalgic grips on the deluxe today.
The bars are a much nicer feel than the stock bars, and look cooler to boot.
I thought it was a pretty cheap, as simple upgrade. Onto the front rim next!!!
I didn't have to change anything, but the brake line is almost maxed out. I am going to swap it,
for one that is 6" longer just to be safe. The camaro was my first money pit!!!!

Just switched mine over yesterday. It went well but I find the wiring that comes out of the clutch / left side switch housing to be very tight now just barely long enough. Brake line seems fine. I am thinking I may have to buy a longer wired switch set for that side. Did you find yours very tight after the bar switch?

I agree 100%, I am really happy with the way they feel. Nice job on swapping
them out, I though it was super easy, and well worth it. The bars look great
on your bike!

BTW your green Heritage is a real headturner. I'll bet she gets tons of attention!
