Installing Honda Type II bars... - Rebel73_imp - 03-16-2016

So I finally got around to swapping out my handlebars. It was much easier than I thought it would be. The left grip came off pretty easy with some WD40 and a long skinny screwdriver.
I'm just waiting on the hand grip cement I ordered online to reinstall the left hand grip and internal weights. I'll upload better pics of the finished product once it's completely done. I already like the feel of the lower bars better. It feels like it will give me better control with a slightly more forward position.

Any chance you can snap a pic from the same angle as the first pic?

Are those type II bars lower? Look like it, but I'm having a hard time seeing it.

If they are lower, is there a Honda part number?

Thank you,

Brian

Yes, they are about 1.5" lower. I'll put some pics up for you later. It was getting dark when I took the above pics. I'll see about getting you that part number. You can also order them from Samurider.com

That's an excellent link showing the differences between the two bars. Thank you!

Did you have to drill the new bars for the switchgear?

I thought the type 2 bars weren't compatible with the DLX? Lower bars + taller tank = contact.

The type II are fine. I'm running them now. I put them at full lock and they just barely clear, but they clear.

Maybe is the CB500F bars so popular are what I am thinking about. Those are lower than the Type 2s

Yes, probably.
