Title: Handle Bars
Post by USCG Cremeans on 02/27/06 at 18:20:35

Im toying between the idea of stock sportster bars, or something like this:

I like the t-bar type look.. if i choose to buy one of those, should i get it with or without dimples?

also im about 6'4 and im wondering what rise i should go with.. either 4, 6, or 8 personally i like the look of the 6.

Yeah, I saw another post of yours indicating CGA. It's just a saying in the Navy regarding puddle pirates... they are required to be over 6' so they can wade ashore if their boats sink.

I would go with the bars without the dimples. I remember Torque had some awesome bars but the dimples prevented his grips to fit properly.

ahh ok thanks, will i need to buy any different hardware to mount the t-bar style bars?

Be sure you check the measurements of the mounting bars. Bars for Harley's have 3.5" (center to center) between the bars, which will not fit the Savage triple trees.

hmm well i guess i may be rethinking this, the stock s40 bars are similiar to that t-bar design right? i wonder how hard/expensive it would be to get a set of those

I'm running HD FLH bars on mine. Using 19mm deep well sockets for risers. Someone on here had the idea. I like this setup fine. Only 6'1"

how wide are the risers apart? as i how wide do I need the center section to be? I want to go with a 6-8" rise, 30" width, and -4" pullback instead of the 8" rise, 27" width, and 11" pullback, definately want to kill that pullback, plus I want flatter bars.

Here's a couple of shots of my "deep well" socket risers.

i get it now.. thats pretty clever, i think i may have to do that and possibly drag bars. too bad the sockets can't give any pull back haha.
