Default RE: handle bar size

They should accept 1 inch factory controls they need to be dimpled to allow wire not to get pinched from factory controls or they need holes for internal wireing. or you need to make holes yourself.

This is what the bars said that I madefit my Sporties factory controls.. [align=center]Approx 30" from tip to tip of bar ends.[/align][align=center]Approx 4" Rise[/align][align=center]Approx 14.5" from bottom corner to corner[/align][align=center]Approx 3 3/4" between top points[/align][align=center]Approx 5 1/8" recessed section for clamps[/align][align=center]Approx 4.5" pullpack from center line of riser mount to bar ends.[/align][align=center] 1/4" DIAMETER W/ INDENTS TO ACCEPT 1" CONTROLS. [/align][align=center][/align][align=center] even with that being said I still had to wire the controls internally since it didnt say FACTORY CONTROLS as no matter how hard I tried I was pinching wires when tightning the controls on the bars and getting a dead short and popping fuses.

Don't get discouraged wireing the bars internally is easy and fun as long as you can
A) Soldier
B) Follow simple color coded wireing and extend wire lengths. [/align]
