Resurecting an old thread!
Ok,
I bought a set of WideGlide 1 1/4" mini ape handlebars.
yes, the knurling is offset, but because we have the mini tach in the middle of the risers you don't really notice it.
and they bolted up just fine for me.
my next issue is the hydraulic clutch master clyinder.....
since the SE bars are tapered at the ends, my hydraulic clutch will not bolt up to the wideglide bars!
solution?
??
the clutch master clyinders on the '09 SE springer and Fatbob have been redesigned.
they now resemble the brake master clyinder and have the nesassary clearance for standard 1 1/4" handlebars!
the price of the revised clutch reservoir is $150.00
The reason I'm going with the '07 wideglide bars is because I don't like the center width of every other mini ape out there, the smallest ones I found were 10" at the center, and that looks like crap on the narrow springer front end.
all I need now is a wire extension kit and some new cables!
and NO, Beerman, I'm not wealthy by ANY means......
this bar swap IS my winter project, I can't afford to buy everything all at once, I will be buying a few pieces here and there over the winter to complete it!
