Did you have to get new clutch line, brake line, and extended wires? If you did where did you get them?

Yes all extended. I got the bars from Drag Specialties, I had Tampa HD do the work, I am friends with some of the service guys, Tiny the service writer helped me pick out the bars and size, they did a great job, I got update pics sent to me as they did it LOL.

Normally,I don't care that much for tall bars but I have to say those look pretty darn good on Jd's Freewheeler. ThumbUp

I am only about 6'1, but I am a large guy, also the Corbin seat I had made is a little bit taller than the stock seat. This is a pic of me with the stock bars and the corbin seat... I don't have me on the trike with the new bars yet..... Hope this helps.... You can see how low I was reaching with the stock bars.

My friend, those apes are pure sickness! Love the look. I live in So. Cal. and you are welcome anytime. The Rhinehart slip-ons look good as well. I sold mine that I had on my RK because I felt they would stick out too far. But with that bumper in place, they look pretty aggressive.

Thanks man for taking the time to share! ThumbUpThumbUpThumbUp

Thanks man!! I almost didn't do the rineharts, like you, I was not sure about how I would like how far they would stick out. Then I heard another freewheeler with them and I was sold.... They do stick out a bit from the bumper but I agree nice aggressive look, but the sound... perfect deep growl. I may take you up on that some time....

Hate to ask, but can you give the price for the bars and exhaust. Also, how do the bars work for turning a tight corner? Thanks.

Total on the bars including install and all of the extensions was around $1,300. Turning is better, they are just bellow my shoulders instead of at my waist so leverage is better, I do lean forward a little (not off the seat or even close) at full lock. I did the slip ons a couple months ago so I would have to look to see what I paid but I am thinking 500 total, I think the slip ons were around 4 and install was about an hour, wish I have a trike lift.

Thanks a lot for the answers. Yeah, a lift would be a good thing.

thank you for sharing. I need to do bars, a comfort lift and a brighter head light. Money is a serious issue so it will be awhile. I really like the bars . I may do the 14's just enough height and looks great.
