So, there seemed to be a lot of mis information out there on the net with this Pro Taper bar bend specs. After a few calls to Pro Taper and also to the vender I got it sorted out. If anyone does go this route. The tracker or "TT" bend bars are all the same specs as the other optional "Outlaw" bend. Same 2" of pull back on both bars even though the manufacture numbers call out more pull back on the TT vs Outlaw. The only true difference is in the rise between both bars. The Outlaw has about 3" of rise where the TT has 3.89" of rise. All other numbers are the same. Wish it was as simple as tossing both bars on the counter top but I guess no one inventories parts on site like they use to. All good.
Should make for a good winter weekend project. I'll post a couple photos once I get around and install the set.
So, finally had some time to install the bars, risers and follow up my post. Pretty happy with the results. Pulling the wires through the bars wasn't too challenging with some Vaseline and patience. The centre hole was a bit smaller then my Wild 1 drag bars I had on previously. I also like how the larger bore risers look and feel. They compliment the wider bars nicely.
Cheers.
Thx guys. Ya, no doubt. Although I don't care to see if I can bend these up. Haha.
I've always liked Pro Tapers. I figured I'd toss on a pair of the PM Renthal grips during the install for good measure.
I'm pretty happy with the positioning over all. I was worried that there wasn't enough pullback for a softail but it's all good.
Any chance you have some pictures of the full profile of the bike? Or any of the front from further away? Trying to decided which risers to go with. Thanks!
