Get ready to open your wallet if you want OEM

lilbill · 10-20-2010, 12:45 PM

look closer at the pic. no dogbones, one piece bars.

modified stock WL bars for flattrack purposes ,they mount just like the regular ones

i've made a set like that for some one last year ,heat treated them and bend them into shape (i got a cardboard template ,the guy made in the HD museum in the states )

hope this ^^ helps

Do you have an old photo of your template or dimensions that we could use?

Thanks

el diablo · 10-20-2010, 03:56 PM

yep thats too wide in the middle
the racer bars are : bend up and down ,and they go up immediatly from the point where they are "welded" into the top plate that mounts on the springer

i've heard that the guy sold that bike ,but i will ask him if he still has pics or the template

taken pics when building something was (or is) never my strong point ....sorry

el diablo · 10-20-2010, 04:20 PM

no they slide over the forks ,just like the normal wl bars do

the ones you mean are for the older models like VL or before that ( i might be wrong on this

)

Tattoo,
Those bars you picture are Flanders, not Harley.
