Cables, Lines and Wiring

FMB notes +4 in. cables are needed (per FMB Choppers). Contact us with your model, and we’ll help you plan the cable and brake line parts.

How Handlebars Are Measured

  • Rise: Height from the base of the bar to the top of the bend.
  • Pullback: How far the grips come back toward you.
  • Width: Distance from bar tip to bar tip.
  • Hand control length: Straight section for grips, switches and levers.

Measure your current bars the same way and compare. A few inches of rise or pullback makes a big difference in how your shoulders and wrists feel on a long ride.

Many states limit handlebar height, often measured from the seat or relative to the rider’s shoulders. Check your state’s rules before choosing a tall rise.

How to Install

  1. Measure your current bars and confirm the new bars and rise you need.
  2. Support the bike securely and cover the tank.
  3. Remove the hand controls, grips and wiring from the stock bars, noting cable and wire routing.
  4. Install the new bars, routing cables and wiring as noted above.
  5. Bleed the brakes if you open the hydraulic line.
  6. Torque riser and control clamps to spec, then check full lock-to-lock steering with no binding or pulled cables.

Handlebar changes affect steering, throttle and brakes. If you aren’t comfortable with cable and brake work, have a qualified shop do the install.

Care Tips

  • Wash with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals on the powder coat.
  • Touch up chips to prevent rust.
  • Recheck clamp torque after the first ride.
