handlebar swap
I am having Badx modify my seat soon and he will be moving me down, but not back. I like to sit back enough as it is. I would like the handlebars to come a little closer to me. Any suggestions on bars that I should go with? Any tips on changing them? I have the manual, but is this a straightforward easy job? Will I need all new cables? Thanks.

I put the Wild1 Chubby BaggerBars on mine and am very happy. They go a bit higher and couple inches closer, depending on how you adjust them - a bit wider than stock too. You need new cables, and it's a big job - but very doable. The thicker bars with internal wires really look sharp!

Hey Dawg,
Didn't mean to scare or discourage you. Like the above poster said, the job is very doable. Just take your time and it should come out just fine. Remember, I'm an ok wrench, but not the best. Experienced mechanics could do the job in much less time than I did and with fewer problems. Good luck - the results are well worth it!
