In this video we show you how to measure the Ape Hangers, T-Bars, and Clip-Ons that you already have, so that you can find the size of your new bars. If you want to measure from scratch, check out the video at • Tech Tip: How to Measu...

What will happen if I order a cable kit larger than what is required for new handlebars? Good video.

Vulcan 900 Custom. My stock t-bars have a 1 1/2 pullback bend in the risers. then a 6 inch pullback using a strait edge across the top of the riser where the bars are welded. Specs say 6 inch pullback. So we discount the bend in the risers when measuring?

what about how do you measure bar diameter? example 7/8 bars

@DennisKirk 10 жыл бұрын

Great Question! There are 2 major measurements, 7/8 and 1" bars. This is speaking to the width of the pipe in which the bar is made from. You can either use a caliper, or lightly fit a clamp on the bar and measure that distance. It's best to measure where your grips will go, and where the bars will mount to the triple tree. Normally these numbers will much, but some bars are designed to look bigger then their mounting clamps. Truth be told, I've even googled the stock bar size. Hope this helps! -Drysen

I ride in NE Ohio. The state troopers in my area are headhunters. Any bars that are above shoulder height will get you pulled over. To be foretold is to be forewarned.
