Hi - anyone know of any wider handle bars for the TBA? I don't want ape-hangers, just gently curving bars at the same height as standard, only nice and wide. I was sitting behind a Hardly last week in the car, and the bars looked fab. Well - obviously they would look better on a Triumph .

Thanks

geez, the bars on my America are like 38" wide. I've looked at HD touring bikes and they're maybe 33 - what kind of bike were you looking at?

OK - I had to go and meaure them. Mine are 33" from end cap to end cap. 38 or 40" sounds better. Are they standard, or aftermarket?

Hey Rob,
Flanders makes just about anything you might want.
Here is the link:

If you go much wider though you may need to lengthen your control cables.

I stuck the Buckhorns on, hardly wide, but a caveat, the brake line could be too tight if the angle isn't correct or use a longer brake line.
