Question on handlebar conversion...

I just sold my Dyna...

I'm looking to possibly buy this bike.

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/mcy/1183693795.html

What's all involved in converting the handlebars back to stock height or 2" over.

Any idea of cost?

I want to change out cables and lines. But what about electrical?

I will probably sell the old bars, cables, and lines as a kit.

Thanks

I'd start by asking the guy if he still has the stock pieces, then you're just looking at a few hours work. New cables and lines can be found for around $250, bars are pretty cheap (or expensive, depending on your taste). The electrical can be shortened or just coiled up under the tank.

Thx,

He doesn't have any of the original parts. He had the conversion done at a shop and they kept all the original stuff..

Good idea about the electrical. I would of never thought that.

It isn't under the tank, you can coil it up in the nacelle, where the connectors are. BTW, that is a sh*tty fuel injection system on that bike. 02 up has the good Delphi system.
