Default bars not even!

Sorry for all the questions today - messing around with a few things on the bike.

Not sure how this can be but the height of the left side of the bar is higher than the right!

Thoughts!

Maybe the bends in the bars weren't symmetrical to start with. That was the case with the bars I bought from Flanders for my dyna.

Found the problem - one side was cranked down more that the other. Loosened both side and worked the bolts back down in sync. Problem gone.

Thanks

Glad it was a simple fix!

I didn't notice my handlebar was a bit off until after the internal wiring was done and it was mounted on the bike. Flanders offered to replace, but it was too late at that point.
