Put on a little over 800 this past weekend, which confirmed my desire to replace the stock bars on my scoot.
As we all know, this ain't a cheap mod. I've been acquiring the necessary parts.
Already installed the black powder coated levers.
Have the new bars: WO 515, in black.
Ordered Black Pearl cables and polyurethane riser bushings.
Currently have chrome split vision mirrors, which aren't available in black. Will likely sell these and get a black pair, once I find something I like.
Then it's on to blackening the front end and engine guard...

Unless you got real short arms, you'll love the 515s. Put mine on last year, just the right pullback and not to high. I tried positioning them may ways but found straight in line with the forks worked and looked best. I can kick back into the backrest with these are am very comfortable.

Well, my knuckles don't drag when I walk... much.
A friend has the 515s on his CVO Glide and they feel comfortable to me. I'm looking forward to the change.
