2lane,  Is this not the same company that also says no cables or brake line needed on installation? [smiley=nixweiss.gif]  Anxious to hear there response. See ya.         JR [smiley=laugh.gif]

MOBESeriously thoough....YOU HAVE GOT TO TAKE THE THING BACK APART AND USEA FULL LENGTH TO CLAMP. IF YOU DON'T THE VIBRATION WILL ( I REPEAT, WILL) CAUSE THE BARS TO CRACK AND BREAK BETWEEN THE CLAMPS. I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN ON 2 OUT OF 2 OCCASSIONS WHERE THE BARS WERE INSTALLED THIS WAY.

Hey PCC, Reckon how long it takes about before them bars go to crackin? And were you1 or both of the occassions where they cracked? Just curious. [smiley=confused5.gif] See Ya!                                                     JR [smiley=laugh.gif]

The reason I say they are still not right is I had to take a file to the front allen bolts and file them down other wise the radio hit the allens and you can't install it.  Same problem in with the rear allens they hit the switch cover.  The reason is the pockets for the allen bolts is not deep enough and the allens stick up farther than with the stock clamps.

I am in the process of ordering the bars, in addition to the llonger front brake line what additional parts do I need to get.  Does the one piece bar clamp come with the bars?  Thanks and Have a Happy New Year!!

Magoo;  
 I don't see how the wires could get hot enough in normal use to melt additional wires in the handlebars without melting and shorting themselves out.
 The wires that go from grip to grip are just normal wires in a regular plastic sleave, (sp?).
They don't appear to be made of any kind of special heat resistant material.
These wires go inside of the handlebar regardless of the application.
Nevertheless, I ran the power for the whole mess to a fused accessory switch so that I didn't rely on the switch on the end of the left grip. This way when I turn the acc switch off, no power is routed to any component of the grips. [smiley=nervous.gif]

PCC;
 Does the road king use a one piece clamp?
I'm thinking that if it does this would be a good piece to use.
I'll check with my parts guy today and see if it's a one piece.
Thanks for the heads up. I sure don't look forward to tearing that all back apart, but I bet its a real bitch riding with half a handlebar! [smiley=nervous.gif]

  Just checked with the parts guy, the road king also uses a 2 piece upper clamp.

The one piece clamp you need is one like is used in the softtail family...

It's odd that the HD SEEG bars have a cutout in the section bewteen the risers to accomondate internal wiring just like the 575 bars and HD did not use a one piece clamp

I had an old softail clamp from a 2000 softail standard. The purpose is to prevent flexing right at the middle of the bars where the ho;e for the wires to come out is. The bars are so heavy due to the 1 1/4 inch diameter that gravity and vibration will crack the machined down area in
the middle.

I know a lot of you just recently got your bars and Wild 1 was in kind of a rush to ship. I wonder if their quality control just took a dump on those stickers? I can't imagine a way they could compensate for the problem unless they started to use different  (thicker) stock.

I believe that the portion of the clamp that spans the bar on the top keeps the  mid section from flexing enought to crack, so I'm not sure how well the clamp itself has to fit. I also think the Road King uses the same two piece setup as our bikes.

Still no word from wild 1 on the solution or who fouled up.

FYI-Wild-1 has a couple of sets of the dual flat 575's in stock for those who want or need some additional reach. I was also able to locate a one piece clamp with recessed bolt holes which may lessen the need to file on the bolts.  It appears the bolt holes are recessed at least 1/4 of an inch at the rear mounting holes and more at the front. The CC part number is 26145.  

I've got a 2" over H-D brake line and feel comfortable with doing everything except the brake line change over.  Presumably you purge the old fluid by opening the bleeder valve and pumping the lever until the fluid is gone.  I shouldn't have any difficulty re-filling and bleeding but any tips or shortcuts would be appreciated.  Bars should get here today.

Thanks
Dan
