yesterday was my first substantial ride on my new magna. I have got to get new bars. the sweep is way to drastic, I even tried rollin em up and down a little, but my wrists were achin sumthin fierce after the 30 mile trip. anybody deal with jcwhitney.com. I seen some on there, new for like 22.00 just not sure what measurements im lookin for to keep from changin the cables as well. I like the height, its the sweep, pullback that needs flattened out. Thaniks
I have used JCWhitney they have been around a long time and they are fair and easy to deal with. You need 7/8 inch bars and as long as you don't change the height by more than an inch or so your cables should be fine.
Jerry said you need 7/8 in bars. I assume you ride a third gen Magna (94-03) and if so, the third gen use one-inch bars, NOT 7/8. If you go with the 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 fatty drag bars, they taper off to one-inch where the controls and grips mount.
His sig line says 84 Magna so 7/8" bars are correct.
thanks guys. I got a buddy who says he has some bars that will work he gonna bring em over today. If not jcwhitney here I come!
buddy brought his bars of a 1976 Honda somthin that he customized. WORK AND LOOK AWESOME!!!!!! THANKS guys
