Default Z-Bars installed!!!

So after some frustation I finally got the Z-bars installed. Running the wires internally was a tremendous hassle!

I also cut the 6" NT risers down to 3" and reused them.

I couldn't find grips that I liked in time to go for a weekend ride so I installed a pair of Renthal dirt bike grips that I had laying around. Getting grips made for 7/8th inch bars on a throttle tube made for 1 inch bars was as fun as wiring the bars!

Here's pics.

I'm just glad that they are finally on. I wasn't sure if the wires were going to go through after getting them stuck in the bars a couple times. Sheesh what a PIA!!!

Thanks guys. I know the grips aren't exactly "blingin" but they are just temporary until I get my PM Renthals.

Nice, they look great, I really like Z bars. I had z-bars on my night trian, and like you running the wires were a lot of fun.[&:]



I want to build a set like these for my Dyna

After hooking everything back up I winced as I turned the ignition on, just waiting for a stripped wire to show it's face. I guess I lucked out.

Ya I know the feeling, it ended up that I had a short in the dim/bright switch, so I had to pull the left side and fix it.

Oh man! That sucks! I was dreading something like that happening.
