Do you have any sort of tank lift? Wondering how that might effect mirror clearance or if they would hit the tank with a lift. I have the same bars and mirror set up and they just barely clear when turning the steering. Thanks!
Hey man, nice bike!!! How do you like the bars? How narrow do they feel compared to the stock ones and do the mirrors ever hit? Also how stretched out does the brake line get? How's the visibility in the mirrors?
Beautiful bike my friend! Love the look its got, pure motorcycle. Sounds great also! I was going to get the 72 but ended up with a great price on mine. Stay upright and safe.
Hey Streetbob883 ... thanks for this Video... I think about buying a alternative Zbar, in Germany you can´t ride Biltwell :-/ Can you plz tell me how tall are you? I wonder because you drove the bike with Z-Bar an middle controls. Thank you!
*****Hi Gary.No you can fit them straight on but the brake cable is tight so you have to angel them slightly forward, I changed mine later when added risers, and reroute the clutch cable through the forks between headlight and fork leg.
Really nice bike, mine is sort of the same style as yours. Two questions if you will, what seat is that, looks Le Pera something and what pipe are you running, thing sounds awesome. Thanks!
18 months on and I'm paying even more attention to this fantastic Iron than ever! So, obviously you ride a big twin now, but looking back, how much of an improvement did you see from the stage one? Obviously, the sound from the V&H Competition Series is wonderful, and you were bringing plenty of air in too, but did it make that much difference? Also how did the burly shocks perform? I gather they're fairly unforgiving, despite the wonderful slammed look. You'll realise that I'm asking because I'm contemplating one of the new Irons, possibly with a 1200 kit, to run alongside the Enfield. Alternatively, I could just about stretch to a Street Bob with a stage One but not much else initially. I'd love to know what you think! Cheers mate!
+pgod1960 Hi Peter Yeah I miss the Iron it was a fun wee bike, and looks good even in standard form. I would say the stage one makes a difference, maybe not a great difference, but it sounds faster lol, and maybe that encourages you to drive different , I took the baffles out my Suzi AP 50 in 1978, I was convinced it went faster. The Burlys were stiff but not too bad I had them on the Street Bob as well, and would definitely fit them again I had a set of progressives on the Bob first and found them maybe even a bit stiffer. it's hard to tell with the state of the roads, ( let's not go there)
:-) Thanks! Man, as fun as it is, anything will feel fast after the gogeous little Enfield. The only thing that might tempt me to part with it is if I decide to go for a Dyna! As they say, watch this space ...
Hi the standard brake line just fits, but I would advise you change it ,I have now fitted risers and had to change mine, job was made easier after watching Delboys garage showing you how on youtube.
Hi Yeah original risers but I did swap them later for slight pull back ones but put them on facing the other way to make the clock lie down flat. It looked much better.
Hi Diogo No I didn't have to change anything, but the break line was tight it just made it, I would advise you change it, I did change it later when I fitted risers And had to reroute the clutch cable between the headlight and the forks. Yeah your right there biltwell Z bars 6" rise.
I have a 48 with basic bar. and I am going to change to the bar like your HD (Chizeled Lo Handlebar), is it much easier to ride with long tour? I am only 1m67 tall.
Hi I found them ok. It depends how you set up the rest of the bike, I Lowered the back end with burley brand 10" shocks and had 2" tank lift and 3" reversed riser.
Do you have any sort of tank lift? Wondering how that might effect mirror clearance or if they would hit the tank with a lift. I have the same bars and mirror set up and they just barely clear when turning the steering. Thanks!
Did you have to change any of the cables to install these bars?
Bloody lovely, grin inducing bike. Spring and the open road beckon! :-)
Hi Peter, cant wait to see you out on the Enfield,
you'll have to get the old school riding attire, ahh I can smell the waxed cotton from here.
Really Nice looking IRON there Bud, sounds good to
That's the esplanade. Live right round the corner!
Hey I'm really digging this set up what year?
Hey man! What’s it like riding with that width bars? Is it good for the twisties in the U.K.? How about motorway higher speed etc?
Hi ,Yeah its fine, just takes a wee while to get use to them,
What exhaust system?
What size are the bars
Nice ride
Hey man, nice bike!!!
How do you like the bars? How narrow do they feel compared to the stock ones and do the mirrors ever hit?
Also how stretched out does the brake line get?
How's the visibility in the mirrors?
Hi
yeah they take short time to get use to, the mirrors are OK
the brake line is just long enough
streetbob883 thank!
how do they feel on longer rides?
Yeah I loved them I have quite long arms Later I fitted reversed pullback risers. check out my other video the last goodbye.
On those zbars u have are those stock brake & gear wires ?
Hi I had to fit longer brake cable, the others were stock.
What size are these bars?
Beautiful bike my friend! Love the look its got, pure motorcycle. Sounds great also! I was going to get the 72 but ended up with a great price on mine. Stay upright and safe.
Hi thanks Blue, It's not a 72, it's 883 Iron, I just picked up the tank and some other stuff on ebay over winter, and changed the look.
streetbob883 excellent job!
How many inches is the z handlebar?
@@ADVdiary 8 inches
sorry, one question, is a handlebar Biltwell?? is really tight .. I like!!
Yeah Biltwell Z bars 6" rise
Hey Streetbob883 ... thanks for this Video... I think about buying a alternative Zbar, in Germany you can´t ride Biltwell :-/ Can you plz tell me how tall are you? I wonder because you drove the bike with Z-Bar an middle controls. Thank you!
six feet or 182.88 centimeters. I dont understand about biltwell cant you order them on line?
streetbob883 yes i can, but WE are not allowed to Ride this bar. It has no specification and do not fullfill the Rules in Germany ... :-(
How do you feel on this Bike with middle controls, the Low Back and the Zbars? Is this comfortable? Thank you!! Regards Andreas
Hi ,Yeah feels OK just takes a short time to get used to the narrow bars but no problem.
Like the bars, how different did it feel when you first changed them from the original ones.
Hi they are narrower than the standard bars so not as much purchase for maneuvering, but after few rides they were fine.
Think I might get a pair, were they easy enough to fit/ any alterations required?
*****Hi Gary.No you can fit them straight on but the brake cable is tight so you have to angel them slightly forward, I changed mine later when added risers, and reroute the clutch cable through the forks between headlight and fork leg.
I'm gonna get a pair, I don't mind having to stretch my arms a bit if it saves having to buy longer cables.
Also looking at different air filter cos I hate the big standard thing that's there, everything is so expensive tho.
Is this an ABS bike? Would the stock ABS front brake line fit?
hi Tom - no abs and I changed brake line,
Really like what you did with that bike! Quick question..what exhaust is that?
Hi Francis
It is the Vance and Hines two into one competition exhaust, nice sound only couldn't fit forward controls with this exhaust.
streetbob883 thanks for the info, I might have to get this for mine
Really nice bike, mine is sort of the same style as yours. Two questions if you will, what seat is that, looks Le Pera something and what pipe are you running, thing sounds awesome. Thanks!
Hi thanks, yeah its a Le Pera silhouette i think, and a V+H competition two into one

Any real problem with the brake line when installing the Zeds I'll be doing so soon
Hi the standard brake line just fits, but I would advise you change it ,I have now fitted risers and had to change mine, job was made easier after watching Delboys garage showing you how on youtube.
Hi man, so this is a 6" z bar with the original native risers?
Hi Yeah original risers but I did swap them later for slight pull back ones but put them on facing the other way to make the clock lie down flat. It looked much better.
Foot controls?
Hey man, your bike looks great.. congrats!
you had to change all the cables for new handlebars?
this is a biltwell zed bar right?
Hi Diogo
No I didn't have to change anything, but the break line was tight it just made it,
I would advise you change it, I did change it later when I fitted risers
And had to reroute the clutch cable between the headlight and the forks.
Yeah your right there biltwell Z bars 6" rise.
they look good...just bought a pair of 6" z bars
What size risers did you add? Nice bike.
6"
I love 2-1 exhaust
Hey I have forward controls on mine but I don't like them should I get mid controls like yours thanks bro
Hi Connor
Yeah if you don't like the forwards the mid rest's are quite good on the sportster.
streetbob883 thanks I just feel like they give you more maneuverability
That is the most unique iron i have ever seen. nice job. It's a chobber lol. or a... bopper hahah.
It's a chobber
I have a 48 with basic bar. and I am going to change to the bar like your HD (Chizeled Lo Handlebar), is it much easier to ride with long tour? I am only 1m67 tall.
Hi
I found them ok. It depends how you set up the rest of the bike, I Lowered the back end with burley brand 10" shocks and had 2" tank lift and 3" reversed riser.
How long? Change cables ?
I didn't have to change them but I did change brake line
What size is your new brake line? Could you do without replacing it or is it a must do?
