Default springer classic handlebar

i want to change my handlebars on my springer classic and clean up the front . this is gonna be 1 of my wintermods . i want to get ready and order a few parts allready . after looking at zillion pictures i think my choice goes to the baron customs bars .



now if i am correct these bars don't fit my springer so i need to get me an adapter plate . i was thinking about the carlini cause i really didn't find another one . maybe some of you got some other ideas ? if i get this adapter plate can i run whatever riser i want ?

also i want to run my cables internal , but i am a bit confused if it's possiblewith these bars . i don't see it mentioned anywhere .

maybe someone in here has the bars and can share he's experience with me ( and maybe some pics from a different angle )

The adaptor plate will give you more choice



You would need to find out if they are drilled out between the riser area to allow for the wires to come through...

The original bars put my wrists in an uncomfortable position. I didn't want the ape look so I installed Wild 1 Chubbys #WO510. I had the wiring done internally which cleans up the bars. Wild 1 does offer a few different size Springer bars.

i was looking at those bars also, so how do you like them ? can't make up my mind between the dresserbars or the knucklebars :s

i like the looks of the 510's but i wonder if i can change the risers to a bit shorter ones so the bars come a bit lower .

They aren't high. I think it's the angle of the picture.

I'm very happy with the results. At first I tried a set of classic Springer bars from JP Cycles for about $49 but they stretched my arms out straight, which forced me to sit forward a bit. I'm 5'8" with 33" sleeve so perhaps a taller person or someone with longer arms may not have the same issue. For me, the pullback on the Wild 1's was just about right.
