Handlebars, AAARRRRGH!

Yeah, it all seems to be the ABS's fault for cost increase. I'm not giving up, just doing all the research I can first. Other Life things are getting in the way, too.

I sure do miss the days of trying on different bars to see what felt best.

I really appreciated you guys' help on this, I like to make informed decisions and you're darn sure informing me.

BI, sure will be curious on your friend's results. Is his a bagger or 'tail?

Bagger........a Limited. He got jammed up though. Indy told him he didn't need cable extensions for 10" bars. I showed him the yafee quote where it said 10" and over need cable extensions. He listened to the Indy. Instead of getting his bike yesterday noon he's getting it who knows when. He talked to an Indy but brought his bike to HD I think.

I will let you know the outcome.

The 8" bars will do that.

Softails are not baggers, so if you can turn a 10mm you should be able to do the work...[/quote]

Hell, they went metric!!! WTF

Whew!

"Nope...bars were $399, install was $175.
I opted for the Bagger Nation custom clamp, but not required. $79."

My friend had a pair of 10" yafee bars installed at an indie on his 2018 ultra limited for the above listed explaination. Thats his bike in the picturd

Just dawned on me....yafee is for baggers. You have a softail. I saw some nice 10" ones on jp cycles. Also the fat bars on the moco site with 4 risers looked promising too. Anothervdecent site is factory 47.

Another place to check is Wild 1's bars. I've bought a couple sets from them, they can tell you if you need extended wires or cables and what length. They have a good product.

I want to say that I need a solid pair of bar, that must be long lasting.
Thanks

what needs to be invented is sets of cable/wires and brake line extenders kits to ease changing handebars, for the diy guys

If this is a question, A.J., the answer is that all bars are solid and long lasting - unless ya run 'em into something more solid and longer lasting, that is. If you're just asking for some bars, ya might want to rephrase this.

No. I mean a kit that would splice/attach to existing cables and lines elliminating the need to replace your stock set up.

I think when we ridding our motorcycle then must be check everything welly as a safety and it must be our duty.
Without it we must wear jacket, pant, hand gloves, ear plugs etc.

Well, folks, the problem with replacing bars seems to be endemic from 2015 on. Word is that the minor changes in wire ohm resistance that occur cause most (if not all) bikes to start throwing codes. Now, I haven't invested a whole lot of research into this yet, as other things have been eating from my wallet lately, but that is the story. Apparently the problem can only be cleared by Harley-held software. I've been referred to West Coast Choppers, but no follow-up yet. Need the spare $$ before bothering any more shops.

Not my duty, dude. Maybe my choice, and often not, but not my friggin' duty. Ride free, or park it. As a veteran serviceman and firefighter, I know duty, and it sure as heck ain't wearing a jacket and/or ear plugs, etc. Don't mean to offend ya, as I hope ya didn't mean to rile me - but ya did. Besides, this thread is about handlebars, not safety gear requirements.

Welcome to the forum, Alax. I hope to see you meaningfully contribute to future threads.

Howdy RR. HOWS YOUR YEAR WORKING OUT FOR YOU SO FAR.....sorry accidental caps. Mine was going pretty good till i got sick last wednesday but on the mend finally.

No problems with my 2015 ultra Low on the bar swap? Sux yoh are running into snafu's with your bars. Isit maybe just that model?
