Wider handlebars, Tracker style.
#1



I’ve scoured the site for more information on handlebar swaps, and I’m a bit at an impasse in my decision. Most of the information is related to risers, not actually wider handlebars. I need wider than stock, I’m constantly putting my hands on the bar weights for more width. I love the positioning of tracker bars so that’s what I’m going with. The obvious issues are clutch and brake line, throttle cables.

I’m finding the exact dimensions of stock handlebars to peg down, best I can figure their 30 inches wide, 5.5 inch rise, and 7 inch pullback. Yes? I’m looking at 2 bars, one recommended by a Facebook CB1100 user, I’m unable to contact him for more clarity. The other I came along by chance and Really like.

This one is the likely choice for minimal investment. It’s cheaper, and I think can be done without any changes (maybe only needing handlebar holders turned 180 degrees). 33 inch width, 4.5 rise, 7.4 pullback.

This one I really want. Perfect width at 35 inches, 3.75 inch rise, 7 inch pull back. Double the price of the lsl, seriously doubting the ability to stretch the brake that far. The bar could be cut down, but if im not using the full length I might as well go with lsl.

Looking for thoughts, suggestions, things I might have missed.

As I understand, replacing the brake line requires replacing all lines, not just To the splitter. I see spiegler makes a brake line kit, and there are kits on webike, but I can’t tell if those are cut to exact dimensions as current brake lines or do they give more play? I’d prefer not to run two lines all the way down as well.

I haven’t seen much on throttle cables and how much play there is with rerouting. Anyone with experience on it?
