drilled handlebars
« on: November 23, 2025, 05:03:33 PM »
I want some lower handlebars so I look cool.  :P Was thinking satin black, but I don't see alot of pics of them. Should i try to get the bars drilled with the OEM holes? Thanks

 If your bike came with the wires inside, drilled ones makes sense. Otherwise, you have to modify the controls to route the wires outside. Also, the bars carry a ground for some circuits, so paint or powder coat might be an issue.
No matter how many times you paint over a shadow, it's still there.

Thanks Don. Just talking with my son looking at pics online. I think chrome would be better anyway. Lots of black up front already. I think Euro bars are close to what I want.
