Featured New Bars On Street Twin.

Hi, just picked my bike up from Youles in Manchester after having Street Scrambler handle bars fitted.
Only done 10 miles home, so too early to evaluate.

Cheers,Ken. ​

 

Hi,
I just left it with the Triumph store, then collected it when ready.
Parts that came back with bike were: Handlebars, Risers/Clamps, brake cable and clutch cable.
The clutch cable cost me extra on the price quoted for the work. The called me to say the thought they might get away using the original cable, but, apparently it was just a tad too short for comfort.
As you can probably see in the pictures, the bar end fittings don’t ‘Fit’ properly.
I could try getting some Scrambler bar ends, or, as these new bars are longer than the originals I might just shorten them.
Regards,Ken.

 

Thank you, Sir,
Looks like they’re in there as far as.Cheers,Ken.

 

Hi Joe,
The handlebar end has an insert fitted (Held in by a spring pin/roll pin, I think) which is threaded to suit the screw holding the end cap on. Will do some googling before altering anything, perhaps get Scrambler end pieces
would be best.
Thanks, Joe.
Ken.

 

Hi,
I can live with the mirrors .
It’s a bit hard to measure the difference between the bars now they’re fitted, but, I agree with others that have had the same done, yes there is more ‘Pull back’ as standard (and it can be increased a little more by pulling the bars towards you more) and the bars give a more upright riding position.
Will add picture showing different shape of bars.
If you Pm me an email address I will send you a copy of my bill.
Regards,Ken.

 

Joe,
I’m wondering now if the Scrambler has a longer throttle tube that would come nearer the bar end.
The fitting for the end cap is just the same in both pairs of handlebars with nothing to actually push inside.just the small screw to keep the end in place.
Cheers,Ken.

 

William in service was the (Knowledgeable) guy that coordinated things for me, really helpful.

Hiya Tom,
Not sure about the Bonnie,but on my bike the risers and clamps needed changing as scrambler bars larger dia. than Street Twin ones.
Throttle (Mine fly by wire) and electrics unchanged.
Someone (USA I think) had to remove the swing arm to change the brake line...others have said, leave the swing arm in place and just reroute the brake line down the opposite side of the frame.
The brake line has some rigid parts in it that can easily be damaged( kinked) when trying the reroute method.
I think these complications fitting the brake line only apply to NONE ABS bikes.
On ABS ones the brake line goes to the ABS thingy which I believe is under the seat, much simpler. Mine is ABS.
As in post higher up...if you text an email address I will send you a detailed copy of my invoice.
Cheers,Ken.
