Default Biltwell Window Handlebar

Anyone using this handlebar? If so, can you share some pictures. I bought the Tracker handlebar from Lick's, but I am rethinking my decision. Way too much weight on my wrists now.

didn't think they were but thought it would give him a gen. idea. they are similar though the biltwells just bend down at the grips.

Thanks for the pictures. I think the Biltwells are a little bit wider at the top, but those pictures are pretty cool. The handlebars are just one way of not having to deal with the speedo relocation.

I went to the Biltwell website and indeed the handlebars are very similar to those pictures. A little too narrow for my taste. I think I will now look at the Frisco bar as it has the right height and width. Thanks for the pictures they got me thinking I better get some measurements.

Bump...


...i think i'm finally ready to take the plunge.

I've narrowed it down to inverted stockers, narrow drags, or Windows.

Licks cycles have window bars also. They look cool. I have the 10" Z bars wich are the same as the window bars with out the top tube. Just another option.

How did you extend your brake and clutch cables for the 10" bars...?

(ie. what brand of longer cables did you use)
