Default Bar swap

Got my new bars in the mail yesterday. Wow what a project. It took me about three hours to pull apart the headlight assembly, swap bars and put it back together. There’s a lot of parts on them things. Of course, an hour of it was spent scraping rubber off the throttle sleeve. Damn good glue they use at the moco. Anyway, I put heritage style bars on with new grips. What a difference! Now I sit up straight, and for some reason the bike feels lighter. Ergos I suspect. Anyone with questions, fire away. It wasn’t too hard, just time consuming. (oh, and don’t panic when you see the trees on backwards. I think they did that on purpose) hehe.

Congrats. I changed the bars on my EG to Wild1 Chubby's, I will never go back. Nothing like doing the job yourself and know it was done right.
