TODAY'S UPDATE:

Went to the shop yesterday to see if we can find the right bars for Joy. Well, Tim's not gonna like this, but we did. I tried those Super Glide bars I picked up w/6" risers. NG. Fugly and not comfortable. As soon as I saw that look, I knew some kinda Apes would be required instead. I tried 8" & 10" baby apes w/6" risers. Not quite right. Then I tried the 12.5" w/3.5" straight round risers! Perfect!!! We have a winner. So I'm going with the:

Flanders G3: The Original Tall Apehanger Bars®
Height: 12.5"
Pullback: 10"
Center: 8.5"
Width: 34.5"
Diameter: 1"

Sit on a level bike, close your eyes and reach your arms out where you wanna be. Bingo!!! Right on the grips of the Flanders! Just where they belong. I was fortunate enough to be able to do this myself, with access to my friend's parts department, and try so many different setups. The G3's w/3.5" risers was perfect! Using urethane riser bushings and chrome hardware too.

So, that's the final piece of the setup puzzle. The mid controls are back on and that's a much better setup than the FC they had on her when I got her. Now I'm getting the handlebars to match my perfect arm/seating position. Joy should now be a joy to ride!!! With a killer look too!!! :2vrolijk_21: ;)

Can't wait to see the bike and bars together Howie.  The mental image that comes up looks great.  If the arms and shoulders are happy that's most important thing of course.  But I'll bet she looks great too.

All new cables or will some of it reach?

Not sure on that one yet Don. We needed to order the bars and risers. I'm sure the clutch cable's gotta go. Not sure how much extra control wiring is hanging out in the headlamp housing, throttle cables and brakeline might be OK. We shall see! But whatever it needs, it needs! ;)

This has been about a brazillion years ago.  But one of the old FXR bikes that I abused and trashed used to have got 10" apes and there was plenty of wire.  At least at the moment just can't recall on the cables though.

        The best bars I ever found for FXR's were flat track bars from Flanders. You set them up with a 9" riser with a 45 degree bend and they are freakin perfect. Especially the way you ride.

OK, you'll have to wait til next weekend to see the "new and improved" Joy! The 12.5" Flanders Apes with 3-1/2" risers are perfect for me! I mounted them myself at the shop today cause they were pretty busy. We'll need new braided SS cables and brakeline, which can be measured and ordered now. We will need to extend the wiring too, but shouldn't be too bad since we're not internally wiring the bars. I also have the HD Flame grips, which will match the 3 sets of HD Flame Pegs (mid controls, highway. and passenger) and Shifter Peg. Also changing those ugly stock exhaust brackets to chrome ones. Bike should be done for next weekend! :2vrolijk_21:

No motor work this winter for her. Next winter I think. Only around 10K miles on her, and see no need to go into the motor at all. She doesn't leak a drop, so that'll give me something to do to her next winter. I think I will however replace the front and rear brake calipers. I'll use a PM Chrome 6-piston differential bore (same as on Cybil and the '85 FXWG; 4-piston polished PM on the Pro Street) on the front. I'll use the PM chrome 4-piston caliper for the rear! After that, she'll be completely setup properly for me. Won't need anymore cosmetic or ergonomic changes. Just the engine performance mods! :o :D

Tim, you gotta get used to a CVO FXR3 w/apehangers. I tried, but just couldn't stay away. All my bikes are setup 14"-16" total rise (risers + bars), except the Pro Street. Just couldn't bring myself to change that. Not too high, but just right! I guess I'm an apehanger kinda guy. What can I say! :huepfenjump3:

So with that, hopefully I'll be picking up Joy AND the '85 completely redone CVO Style FXWG (some pics in the EVO Section added tonight) next weekend. That leaves Cybil and the new Hoist Bobber (a rigid made from all the replaced parts from my '85 WG) to be done by the Spring. It looks like the pigs might actually start flying in a few months!!! ::) :D ;)
