[TOMCAT]

Try that again

Hope you can make out the re-routed throttle cables, wiring for the switch blocks( unplugged them under the tank and ran them above the frame rails , get bars internally wired in the future) Brake line just makes it, but done 1,000 klms since changed the bars and has'nt been a problem. Bars measure 13 inches from top of triple tree. Hope this helps.

Wow Tomcat, those bars are huge! look great !

 

[oweee]

Tomcat thanks for the pics. I love the height thats great. How did you get the added height?.
O.

You look good in that frock, mate.

The bars are fat T-Bars from Thunderbike in New Zealand. Mate of mine got hold of them unchromed (and free) for me. Bars have had a 75mm piece added to the height of them by welding slugs into the uprites to increase the height and lessen the reach...if that makes sense ???

They are really comfortable and good at speed ( we sat on 180-200 on the Kilcoy to Esk leg of the Freedom Ride )

I thought I read on a post there was someone who was making 6" risers. Did anyone see that and did it happen?

That was me. 6" up and 4" back.
Still waitting on delivery.
For some reason, the machine shop is real busy with orders.
my machinist friend is also a government contractor
who does work for the AirForce, so their stuff takes priority.
Mine comes in after their stuff, but they keep ordering stuff almost daily,
so .......................................................................................
But I should have the tank and Risers on by the fall Rocket Launch.
Barnett cables is what I'm gonna go with when the time comes..
EDIT:
Had to settle for 5" up and 5" back,
that eliminated the need for new cables.

G'day Roosie, did you have a new brake line made up ? Wondering where and how much did they sting you ? I need to have one made as well.
