My Biggest 72 Gripe

So I love my 72...used to say I wouldn't change a thing, but I'm sure a lot of people said that about their bikes for 5 minutes

However, this wording on the HD website has always bothered me

Quote:

Grab ahold of the stainless steel mini-ape hanger handlebar and put your fists up into the wind--it'll take you back to the glory days of chopper cruising. And to keep the look cool and clean, the wiring is routed inside the steel.

but it's not inside the steel...it may fit along and underneath the curves but that doesn't fit the definition of "inside the steel" in my book

what the hell?

LOL thats a major goof I agree with you man. I don't think you can REALLY say thats 'inside the steal' maybe 'inside the outside' is more like it haha.

On the upside maybe you can drill the bars and route internally.

Do any of their bikes come with internal wiring?

is that advert for the stock bars on your bike ? as i doubt they are stainless steel even! or for aftermarket H_D bars that may be internally wired and maybe stainless steel
