Wild One Chubby 575 and TBW... HELP REQUIRED!
« on: June 30, 2009, 12:46:31 PM »

My WO Chubby 575s have arrived!  ;D  They are the wong ones!  :(

These are without the notches for the throttle by wire.  I'd like to try to modify them to take the TBW, so does anyone have a set that they can give me a few dimensions off, please? (in mm if possible!!)  

I need to know:

· The length of the bar end from the "step", as I believe I need to cut ½" (?) off; currently that dimension is 185mm (just over 7¼").  

· The number of notches and their positions relative to one another

· The dimensions of each notch (are they all the same?)

· The rough position of them on the circumference - I'm told that this is not critical, so roughly is fine.

And of course, I need to know this stuff URGENTLY!

Thanks guys,

Jim

If anybody else has this problem, I now have the bars fitted and working.  You need to cut ¼" (note, NOT ½" which was what Wild1 Inc suggested to me, and what Flanders says - possibly correct for non-chubbies!)  off the end, and cut three slots in the end - you can mark up the locations with the TBW gizmo and measure the width depth of the slots off the old bars (actually two slots directly opposite each other 3/8" wide, and one slot 3/16" wide on top of the bars between the other two. All are 1/4" deep.) Exact position of the slots on the bars circumferentially is not important, as long as they are all the correct spacing apart.
