Norm's 7" bar extentions.

I know some won't get it and that's ok. They put me where I want to be and my arms are comfy. It sets me up for my next trick. Custom back rest bracket to work with the Harley back rest I have from my last bike.

Well, it gets the job done! Good on ya!

Interesting. I like the height not sure if I would go that route to get to that height. I will be curious to see how they perform and if there's any flex

The bars are fine...its the shirt!

 

[BigNorm]

Lol. I have a closet full of them. What can I say. Harley makes a great shirt.

Nice job!
Your arms are at about the same attitude as min with the 18" apes on my V2K!
Apes may just be stronger than your set-up . . . just sayin'.

I like the current set up because it has a lot less leverage on the bar clamps. There is a little flex which I imagine is coming from the handle bar bushings. Once I have it together and ride it I'll decide if I will add cross support. I imagine I probably will. For now it's exciting to have the bars on the bike again. I have the cables from Barnett. I need to pull my brake line and measure it and send pics of the fittings to have a custom brake line made.
I will say if I did this again I would use 3/8" threaded binge since M10x1.25 bolts with Allen heads are a royal PITA to try and find. I used boltdepot.com to get two 35mm bolts. They are in Massachusetts and got them to me in only a few days.
