I'm in the middle of swapping out the drag bars on my Night Train for the 14" Evil Apes. Got all the way to the point where I am putting the hand controls back on and the throttle side hand control does not fit.

-The bars are 1"
-The hand controls are Battistini meant for 1" bars
-The left hand side fits with no problem
-I tried a different set of RSD hand controls I got from a friend of mine meant for 1" bars and neither left or right side fit.

I am going to call Carlini on Monday, but does anyone have any ideas? Anyone run into a similar issue?

Do I shave the powder coat down on the bars?

 

You could lay a few more details out there such as why does it not fit. Is it to small, to big or better yet attach a couple of pics with the details.

 

I came in here to see if I could help in any way. All I see is your avatar ghost. Whats this thread about again?

 

i like her........ugh..."leg warmers"
def a top 10 avatar!

 

Good point: The bar is too thick and the right hand grip will not go over top of it. Like I said this weird because the left hand side fits no problem and the bars are 1" and the grips are made for 1" bars.

I will try to get a few pics today.

 

There shouldn't be powder coat where the grip goes on. I've never had bars with PC on the throttle side I didn't have to clean off.

 

Exactly! I normally coat it with anti-sieze to help keep from rusting after removing the pc also.
