Title: definetly need new bars
Post by: Hamers34 on April 26, 2009, 08:16:57 AM
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.
