Handlebars can go one of two ways, very easy or big pain - This feels more like I'm playing a part in a mr bean movie
I have been trying to fit a set for over 9 months now.
Set 1 – 6” T bars sold to me as straight swap no cables - fail- all cables to short
Sent back, if I’m going to have to change the cables I want bigger bars
Set 2 – 8” bars, sent to bike shop up north to make cables, bike shop send them back to me as not drilled at T section and not dimpled for internal wiring so I sent them back
Set 3 – 8” bars received, dimpled for internal wiring, bars ordered are 1 – 11/2 at the collar but were not flattened – result the brake reservoir could not go by the collar and so clamp for throttle assembly would not tighten on.
Did try to squash it down in a vice, vice broke, took it to a fab shop where we heated and tried to flatten it, throttle part of bar bent with heat and welds cracked, bars badly twisted with heat, thrown in bin
Set 4 – Went for 10” bars this time but going through a custom shop 3 hours away to have them ordered as I am having no luck. Drive up to shop 6 weeks later to pick bars up. Collar problem fixed as the part of the bar is flattened, but bars not dimpled or set up for internal wiring, shop sends bars back
Set 5 – Still waiting, put bike back together as the sun is coming to this part of the world again, refitted all cables. handlebars more of a pipe dream now
guy at work has a Harley, he sourced and swapped them out in a day, and has a 200 page catalogue of parts on his desk - -I put salt in his coffee ☺
