Handlebar Question

  • Quote

#1 Post by drrick » Wed Feb 11, 2009 7:23 am

I am trying to figure out whether to buy new bars or get some kind of riser, etc. I own a 2006 V star 1100 custom and I want just a bit of pullback (maybe 2 inches) but prefer no rise. I know barons has a pullback riser for this but I do not really like the look of that particular one. So I have been thinking of changing out the bars. I know bars are listed with rise, pullback and width. I cant find the specs on the yamaha website for my current bars. Does anyone know where I coud find that info or where exactly to measure from to figure it out myself. I read you measure from the mount, but is that from center mount to center bar or someting else. How do you measure the pullback... do you need to to measure on the angle from the mount or parallel at the bar height?

Any advice???

So do you have any idea in mind ?
Which would you get ?

Maybe ask someone who knows well about autobike in repairing store will get some help for you.
That might be soon.

Well I called yamaha customer service and asked my question and they told me they dont know the answer because it is the stock handlebar. I couldnt believe it. I measured it myself but I do not know how accurate it is. I am somewhat disenchanted by that but oh well. I will figure something out.
