    Changed bars on my 2010 1600 T Bird.
    Throttle snapback is not as it was. Occasionally not snapping back properly.
    Really annoying can I adjust to get it to snap back.

    Hi all.,
    Just to say after trial and error adjustment at the cable ends by the switch gear has done the trick.
    I think that the cables become set in their shape and when you change that they tend to drag a bit in their outer sheave.

    I hesitate to ask this (love the look of the original bars) but what have you swapped too? Pics are always welcome ;)

    I wasn't completely happy with the hand position on the original bars. I prefer straight arms and fists.
    T Bars I find handle the bike better and look smart

    Ah....fully agree. I thought you had T bars and had swapped them out. I love the bars on my Nightstorm for exactly the same reason ;)

    Don't get me wrong the originals were fine, just a tweak I wanted to do. These things make us happy

    Just out of interest where did you get the T-bars? Been looking for a set for my 2010 1600 for the same reason but Triumph T-bars now listed as obsolete and couldn't find any after market bars listed for T-Bird 1600.
    Thanks,
    Damien.
