Stock cables work fine as long as you re-route the throttle cable behind the top triple clamp.

However I've only found bars that enable you to route the electrical through the bars ? Man I wish there was someone on here who in fact did this mod so I knew what bars , cable length , rise , width etc. I in fact am looking for on this mod .

You'll also want to make sure you get the same as your current diameter or you'll be changing out grips and mounts and everything else.

www.sideroadcycles.com
Right hand side of the page, near the top, is a "Flanders" handlebar section, in there is a diagram on how to measure handlebars.

- January 05, 2014, 10:25:21 AMGB there's all sorts off measurements , this is were I get confused .
For example :
Baron Nostalgia Bars
Dimensions Diameter 1" Width 36" rise 3 1/2" pullback 14 1/12" knurled 100 mm center to center
Diameter 1.25' w 39" r 6.5" sweep 18.50"
Burly 1" dimpled
width 39.5" rise 4.5" pullback 14.75" 9.5 center width
So as you can see there's different measurements out there , but these are pretty much the standard ones I been finding . I now I'll most likely change out cables etc as most have used stock cables just rerouted them to the front of the tree . I'm lost when it comes to the risers . Do I need to change them etc. etc. etc .

- January 05, 2014, 08:04:55 AMDo you have the measurements for any of those bars in your pics? I wonder what they measure, compared to the stock bars? Some of them sure look comfy, and I agree they do add a nostalgic look.

- January 04, 2014, 22:57:04 PM thanks D1, but I find the stock bars really comfortable, I did this winter that I am going to move them one or two notches up to make them even more comfortable. Hope you find the bars you are looking for.

- January 04, 2014, 21:10:42 PMFellow drifters I'm sure this topic has came up , but with my knowledgeable computer skills .. LOL ... I just haven't been able to find answers I'm searching for .
I know there's plenty of name brands out , such as Burly , Baron etc. who sell beach bars , nostalgia and what ever else they refer to these bars as . Here's the thing I'm trying to find a pair for that retro 40's look for MA-DEUCE . Not only do I love the look . but from reading many different reviews , the one thing it seems everyone mentions is the comfort for 1 and for 2 is the pain relief from their shoulders and back . With these style bars from what people are saying , let's you ride with a straightened back and loose arms , no reach feeling . They also say it feels like adding power steering to the scoot in this position as well as for some reason makes the bike feel lighter . All plus's in my eyes with a cool look to boot .
Here's a few pictures of what fellow drifters have sent me . Man this look for me is SSSSSWWWWEEEEETTTT
