different risers?
10/29/08 at 07:02:09

hey guys ive been installing some ape hanger style bars on my o6 s40 and i have been running into some trouble with the length of the cables. I ordered the cables for the buckhorn style bars and they are still a little too short. I was wondering if the buck horn style bars and the drag bars had different risers and if so where could i get them, and if they dont does anybody know of and aftermarket ones. thanks in advance for your help.

Cables you can custom make, wiring extensions can also be made but are much harder. I believe the buckhorn bars had these short risers and I'll trade you the shortie risers for your s40 risers ... Let me know. Cool. Srinath.

That's beautiful ...
Could you put up a pic of the taillight. I am working on fitting one of those on mine too ... called a limp thingy tail light if I remember ... but I have to see the way you fitted T/Ses and it itself. I have also cut my fender and drilled out the spot welds keeping that thickener plate in it, all in the name of weight reduction ... but I went drag bars ... and keeping stick suspension and tank etc ...
Anyway your cables and what not flailing in front ... absolutely looks right.
Cool.
Srinath.

Reply #6 - 10/29/08 at 17:54:18 Here is a pic of taillight on the stock fender.I put it on right over the original holes.I think I had to drill 1 hole for the front bolt.The t/s I drilled holes in the sides of the light and bolted them on.

Reply #9 - 10/30/08 at 12:55:59 I drilled holes in the light housing,and mounted them.It didn't come that way.I think the t/s are from Drag Specialties.Probably get'em on Ebay,or an aftermarket shop.

But that tail light, I thought these were in that taillight all in 1 unit. No, maybe you had to drill the taillight and install these in them. Cool. Srinath.
