Thanks guys. I’m not able to sit on the bike to see how it feels just yet (it’s all apart) but it appears that it will work out just fine. I’m really impressed on how good it looks. It’s going to really change the appearance of the bike. I will post some pics when I’m done. But I’m still waiting for parts.
Make sure to remove all the chrome around the area that needs welded, if not you will have a weak area and the quality of the weld will be compromised. Handle bars is not the area i would want a bad weld. Just my two cents worth.
Yes and No…… All the welding was done internally (no chrome was hurt during the creation of these bars).
Let’s just say it was a pain in the ass….. Connecting the bars together consists of pieces.
A solid stock round bar, an inner collar and an outer collar.
On second thought……… I don’t think I could explain this if I tried.
And I’m not really sheer if I did it the easiest way either. I think someone could come up with a better way than I did.
But end result…… It looks awesome. All the wires are Clean and hidden (Thanks Gar!!!!) And I did manage to sit on it today. It feels good……
Now I just need the tach to come in……
Im still thinking about that one. Long as it worked for you. I gotta give you two thumbs up on being creative. Look great can't wait to see more pictures.
Cant wait to here how the bike fills and handles . I think its bad ass looking and I have a feeling its going to be great , As they used to say I dig it .
tony, they look sick, I love them. Your arches are going in the mail tomorrow. Looks like FedEx says 5 business days for you to receive. Don't know for sure on cost yet, but looks like approx. $20 or so, I will give you definites tomorrow once I ship them, probably will be cheaper than the quote they gave me today, but we will see. Keep up the good work on the bars, and if you get a spare minute, make me a set for FREE, LOL! Really look good tho.
I'm going to enjoy taking your bike for a test ride at our next international WC Fury riders ride...by the time you finish it will make your bike from last year seem stock!
The bike is still apart and up in the air. The speedo install went fine. All the lights seem to work but I can’t test drive it yet. I will have the bike back together soon and I will post some pics......
