Changing out your handlebars can drastically change the look, feel, and handling of your motorcycle and are extremely easy to install.

Then walks you through how easily it is to install a new set of our T-bar handlebars and the capabilities of keeping your stock controls.

From deleting your speedo, to changing out those bulky rearview mirrors, to adding some styling and comfy grips, to even relocating your turn signals. The options are endless and a really easy way to make your bike stand out from the rest, all while being a super fun and easy project to tackle on your own. So follow a long and get some ideas on how you can make your cockpit even cooler by utilizing all that Lowbrow Customs has to offer.

You should keep doing how to videos to show case how easy it is for people to install what you sell. Every part on your website should have a CZcams “How To” video next to it on your website. Awesome work! 😎⚡️💪🇺🇸
I would cover the tank before I would do anything in case you drop a wrench
yeah he mentions that in either this one or the rabbit ear video that he was being lazy lol. Defiantly good practice to have! Keep on wrenching my friend!
Nice and clear 👍
Thank you! hope you found it useful!
You picked an easy model of sporty to do this with. Try a 2016+ sporty with the upper triple tree that is a work of art that has to be replaced . That way you could of shown us how to swap the tripples out. I just finished a similar job on a 19' 48 . Did the 2 inch riser extensions and 8 inch mini apes
Yall need to make an indicator only relocation mount for those. Would totally buy
Nice editing with the other install video
Would like to see a handlebar removal that have internal wiring through the handle bars.
Is that George from frame shop at beginning of video He's the best
You mentioned eliminating the gauge cluster. Are you guys considering doing a video on that at all?
all you have to do is trace the gauge cables to where they connect and un hook them its quite simple. When we tear into this sportster to make a chopper out of it, we will try and include that step in one of them.
@@lowbrowcustoms Way more simple than I expected! Thanks!
DANG GOOD VIDEO!!!!
Great Vid. I have a 1200 C 2005 with that horibble riser, Want to switch to a standard riser set up. Maybe mini apes. Do you have a suggestion or link to a mount you guys have. Chrome. Basically a Sportster 72 setup? To relocate my speedo. Hate the side mounted versions. I have the 4.5 gallon tank. Probably couldnt even see a side mount.
You can find stock style risers here: www.lowbrowcustoms.com/products/cycle-standard-1-7-inch-rise-forged-aluminum-harley-davidson-handlebar-risers-chrome We have 6.5", 8", 9" and 12" apes available in a wide variety of options. www.lowbrowcustoms.com/collections/motorcycle-handlebars
@@lowbrowcustoms Hey, thanks for the information. Im going shopping.
I want to put a set of burley brand scrambler bars on a 96 883 but I hate the way the electrical controls look on the bar. Is there a good kit to replace the stock buttons for a cleaner look?
We have a variety of different custom switches and also 'switch pod deletes' that let you use your stock levers but ditch the large, stock Harley electrical controls. Check out some options here: www.lowbrowcustoms.com/collections/motorcycle-handlebar-switches-wiring
Awesome mate thanks heaps Tyler
hi lowbrow customs when installing these 10 inch tbars on my 06 sportster would I need to buy new extended cables and rewire any of my controls?
So will my stock cables reach fine for like 14 in bars
I have a 1977 XLCH Sportster that I want to put mini apes on. Which mini apes would you recommend?
Quick question, just purchased a 2011 XL1200C Sportster. Interested in putting bars in like in this video. Do I need to extend all my cables? Or is there enough slack?
That depends on what size bars you choose. If you have drag bars currently and you're looking to go to 10 inch t bars or some mini apes, yeah you're prob gonna need cables.
This guy could use a few tattoos 😂
I gotta ask, how tall are you Tyler?
little over 6ft !
just only a grade 8 bolt believe me... not a weak grade 5 bolt ever they break right off and then your in trouble big time with only only side to try to control bike...
Dude how about a quarantine video for all us peasants stuck in our homes in the northeast.
He mentions a ratchet, what is that?
A ratchet, AKA a ratcheting socket wrench
@@lowbrowcustoms nah mate it's just a bit bigger than mouse shit!!!😂
I liked to original bars better.
The T-bar is not as handsome as your nice tattoo plus your handsome face hunk
Whoa, keep ya pants on 😳
