Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech Changing handle bars. Need help.

I made adapters to avoid drilling the tree. They are also available from a few sources but kind of pricey ($26 give or take for 2 studs!) I put 4 1/2" chrome risers on my SM with 1 1/2" pull back I have the America cables and break line to make it work. The throttle cables are on the right side of the tank to make enough slack , had to do that when I first put America bars on the stock SM risers. Perfect riding position for me now.

The origonal riser bolts are 10mm ,after market Hardley and Hardley are 1/2"

You can use single cap Hardley style risers as opposed to individual caps the spacing between the risers is the same. Thats what I put on mine with a little custom work on the cap.
