In this video, I'm swapping out the factory handlebars and risers for a set of aftermarket swept back risers with a mounting height of 5.5" (14cm) and a pear of 36" (91cm) wide handlebars.
Love the bar swap. Im wanting the same look for my boulevard c50. Ive seen the risers on ebay, but where did you get that wide handlebar!? Thats exactly what im after!. Cheers for the video
Hi, I'm looking for extra pullback about 2.0". I thought a set of these in chrome would do me. Probably 4.5" height which would give me the extra pullback. Can you tell me if the bolts (thread is the same as the original) I think the original is a 12 mm. So, are the bought one's 12mm or 1/2 " Whit ? Close but not the same. If they are not the same ,did you find any vibration etc. I have a 2011 Custom. Thanks for the video it was well made and informative. Graham, Bundaberg, Queensland.
Sorry for the late reply, The standard bots are as you say 12mm & were to small for the riser's I got. The Bolts I used for mine were about 4" long 1/2" Coarse x 13tpi (13 threads/inch) Bolt hope this helps
Hey brother been thinking of the same swap... was the ride any different ? im a big dude and i feel like the stock bars are angles too far towards each other for my comfort. but trying to find bars that give me a straighter grip to relax the wrist seems to be to much to take care of at the bike shop so im on my own.
I found it so much more comfortable with this setup, rather then with the stock bars, And I didn't have to swap any of the cables, everything seemed to reach and work fine. And I really regret letting the bike go but I was made an offer I couldn't refuse at the time.
this is the sizes of the set-up I had, 900mm Wide Handlebars, 1" & 5.5 heigh Risers, Hole Diameter: 1" Width: 1.25" Total Height: 6.75" Height from bottom to center of hole: 5.5" Pull Back: 1.25" Bottom Thread Mount: 1/2" Coarse x 13 (13 threads/inch) Bolt.
@@tinytripod thanks. I'm putting a drag bar, it comes with 4 risers to add on to old risers. right now I have 4 in my bike. so it would be 9.5. As long as not messing with cables, I should be ok.
I like the Look of the new Bars
Thank you, it makes is much more comfortable for me to ride,
Keep it up.
Looks much better.
I ll do the same with my same bike.
I've sold it now

I literally just went through eBay looking at all the different bar's untill I come across the widest one's I could find
Looks great, just bought a similar set up and same risers. Do you know what size the bolts are width wise? Mine came with none!
The Bolts I used for mine were about 4" long 1/2" Coarse x 13tpi (13 threads/inch) Bolt
hope this helps

Looks good brother, is that a custom or classic??
Thank you, Its a custom
Hello, i'm in France , nice look 👍
Where do you buy your riser?
Have a good day
Thank you for the compliment the risers and handlebars were from eBay
@@tinytripod thx
Where did you get the bars from mate. Think they look great
They were purchased from eBay
Could you have used the original bars with the risers?
You probably could of, but that would of meant extending all cables and wiring, plus that would have give me the look I was going for,

@@Silverado82481 and you,
Posso chiederti il link dei pezzi che hai montato?
Where did you find the screws?
If you are regarding the bolts for the risers to attach them to the top yoke I found them on eBay
I have a dragstar 400...Can I use the same as yours?
I'm not 100% but as far as I know you can
@@tinytripod Thanks...would like to try some day...

The Risers are overall 6" But from bottom to center of bar mount hole is 5.5"

Looks cheap.
