Default Handle Bar Vendors

I am looking for a handle bar vendor that sells Wild1 bars and all the necessary lines to complete the job. I called Johnny Vaughn last Friday and got a return phone call that day. I called the past three days to place my order and have yet to receive a call back.. Its shame too, I really wanted to give that guy my business. <<<----- Just an update on Johnny Vaughn, he just called me back... He said he was busy, and I completely understand. He is a stand up guy and is REALLY knowledgeable. Defiantly worth waiting for... Thanks again Johnny!

So now I need to finder that sells it all so I can save on shipping.. I want to buy Wild1 508s.. It looks like I will need a longer upper brake hose (already aftermarket manifold, check pictures) and possibly throttle cables. I say possibly because it looks like I have an extra 2-3 inches in the nacelle. Check out pictures below.

Let me know what vendors you have used and liked. Thanks!

Current Bar


Inside Nacelle, Throttle cables look like they have some slack, the brake line on the left looks pretty tought.


Manifold under triple tree. Looks like I can just replace the upper line for correct length.

Any vendor that deals with Drag Specialties will have what you want. Forum sponsors/vendors that can help you would be Dr. V-Twin and Phat Terry

I got my 16"apes through Hill Country Customs. They send everything you need to install the bars. I have put on 4 sets on mine and buddies bikes.
