How on earth do you people with high bars cope? Finally got my Fat Bob delivered yesterday, and it came with high bars fitted. Of course the natural thing was to take it for a run. I can now state categorically, I do not do Cutty Sark impressions! Anything over 60 and I start going backwards!.
Fortunately the bike also came with the original risers and drag bars, cables etc.. How easy/hard is it to swap bars over? It looks quite straightforward until it comes to the wiring. I'm guessing the wiring was extended for the high bars, which isn't a problem, I'm more than a little handy with a soldering iron and electrickery. But it looks like the wiring goes into the frame at the headstock and dissapears under the tank somewhere. I pulled the grommets out of the frame but no sign of connectors apart from the headlight loom. I assume it;s going to be a tank off job? Any help, suggestions or pointers would be gratefully received. In the meantime I'm sticking to 50.
