    I hate my 24 RG Ltd stock bars. Just bought it last week. Need new bars. This is a good review. Are you still running these bars?

    Just got mine installed and wanted to know if or how you re-routed the clutch cable? I’m on a 22 RGST and the way the clutch cable is routed through the gauge pod is just not working. Can’t wait to ride with these bars.

    • @MeathedMoto

      Couldn't tell you as I have an 18 with a hydraulic clutch. So idk how your clutch cable is routed. I didn't have any issues with cables or rerouting them to make them work

    I ordered mine seven weeks ago, they haven't even shipped yet. But I'm still stoked about them because I just got to Va. and i'm not seeing anything out here like these 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 But the price has gone up since this video was released, they're $425 now plus $50 in shipping totaling $475.

    • @MeathedMoto

      Yeah I'm sure it's a result of the supply issues going on now. Sorry to hear about the wait but they are amazing bars. High quality and extremely well built

    • @MeathedMoto
      @MeathedMoto  Рік тому +1

      First you can go up to 14" rise without replacing lines or extending cables to start. If you want your hands a little bit higher than shoulder height I'd say if you're 5'7" the 12 inch rise would be perfect for ya. I'm 5'11-6'0 depending on shoes so my hands sit below my shoulders with these bars.

    These look a lot like my Hammerheads, love the style and love not having to relocate everything for a tbar feel. I didn't have to worry about LA Choppers powdercoat because I knew I was recoating them immediately. Great review!

    • @MeathedMoto
      @MeathedMoto  2 роки тому

    • @MeathedMoto
      @MeathedMoto  3 роки тому

      That was my only complaint. Being they are made to order is a drag but the quality is top notch. All the edges and powder coating is flawless. They haven't faded to much either in the two years I've had them now

    • @MeathedMoto
      @MeathedMoto  4 роки тому +3

      I needed them put down that way because the 14" windshield comes back too far to have them up. I see just fine with them down and really the style choice is nice. My bars are also only 12" so the mirrors are pretty low to see under my elbows.

      Meathed_Moto brother one last question. As I mentioned earlier I order the 14’’. Do you think I have enough slack on the cables for the 14’’ or should I be proactive and order extensions for the lines? Everything I’ve found said I can fit 16’’ on stock cables but that doesn’t seem realistic. Thought 💭?
