Forgot about this bike. Use to be mine.:laugh:


I would guess, just some 7/8" Ape hangers for a bicycle.
That's what I used for this one.

From ebay.:thumbsup:

I used ape hangars on mine, see my photos, they only costed me $7 off ebay.

 

[Basket Case]

Done... For now

How tall do you think these bars are....11, 15, more? im thinking 15, took a ruler to the screen and measured then measured the same on the forks and i got 15/14 area...second opinion please

 

[Basket Case]

Never mind, I bought 15" hope it works well

Well i got the bars, ad they don't fit, waste of 30 bucks...the center of the bars has a 1inch knurled piece that the risers don't fit around...any ideas where to get some 15 inch bars without that crap in the middle....please help

 

[Basket Case]

They were 7/8 bars except that center piece which gets in the way

Do you have a drill press? Maybe you could drill the mounts out to 1"?

 

[Basket Case]

That wouldn't help, the center if the bar is too big for the space on the riser...I'll have to get the dremel out and grind the inner sides of the clamps...oh well

How about this: could the risers be moved out, away from center, to allow them to clamp onto the 7/8" diameter of the handle bars? Just enough to avoid the wider knurled part of the bars?

 

[Basket Case]

Thought about that, but then I would have extra holes in the triple tree...I kinda anal about stuff like that, plus I just spent a few bucks getting her powder coated...its OK, I'm going to mod the clamps and if I screw it up I'll make a custom out of stock...thanks
