I would like to know what problems you've run into putting different handle bars and/or grips on your bike. Years ago I had my Norton set up with Z style handle bars and would like to set up the America the same way. The J&P catalog has some different W and Z bars on page 290 that look like the way I want to go. Any reason these will not work on the bike. Looks like I will have to use different grips. Got any suggestions what will work? Think a ten inch center,twenty six and a half inch wide, six inch rise,with a twelve and a half inch pullback bar, will work with the stock cables? Thanks again everbody!!! Al
