Thank you. I retrieved this from your tapatalk thread

However these are probably not the solution for Geosar, who stated: "I am now wondering if there is any way to get the handlebars in a more relaxed position so I can sit back in the new seat." As you can see in the photo, these Flanders bar will have you leaning forward quite a bit. (Which was my intent.)

I second that, Long Ranger. These are Flanders bars on the CB. Quality stuff.

Which model flanders are those. It appears they could be rotated backwards

H Josh

Any luck on verifying the part number of your new handlebars?

Thank you

George

Hi,

No, I must have deleted whatever email receipt from where ever I purchased them from.

But if you said I wrote that part # somewhere then it has to be correct. Smile

I had been using Babbit's mobile app with the code OEM10 for 10% off (won't work online, just from a phone or tablet with the downloaded app)

Or you can use Eddie12 from their website for 12% off an order of $300 or more.

Thank you very much. The handle bars are available from Amazon of all places.

Tis done.

I ordered the handlebars Powerdubs suggested from Louis Powersports via amazon. Great company to deal with. Very good communication and quick service. I had a corbin gunfighter and lady seat made with a one inch rise after reading the suggestions from this forum. It is very comfortable so far. I had to modify the rear seat hook with a few washers to make it catch in the lock.

I continued to use my handlebar risers for better comfort.
As mentioned before, the lines are tight but it is doable. The bars are a little longer than the stock bars so things do not look totally stock. The new bars are pre-drilled so I used those holes to set the light controller and the starter controller on the right side.

I actually would like more pull back than these offer but these bars are much more comfortable for me than the stock. The new seat is much more substantial than the stock seat.

Thank you for all of the help. Youtube again was extremely helpful especially for getting the handlebar weights out of the bar ends.

Showing off my CB350 which I just got on the road after languishing for years. Runs like new due to new carb kits.
