Handlebar specs on I/S bars.

I used to have that info on all the models but after replacing my computer...it's gone. I want to replace my current 1.25" Chubby bars from Wild 1 with a new set, want to install on the trike.

Year       Bar Diameter    Height     Width    Pullback    Center   Clamp Area     Factory #
97-03    1"                   6"            33"        14"            9"         3" x 5"        53100-MZ0-000

The interstate bars are identical to standards, except 1/4" shorter (1/8 per side).  I once heard why, but can't remember.  Maybe something to do with the fairing.

If you have risers for the 1.25" bars, they will be no good for 1' bars.  Your rake kit may change up what risers you want, but maybe not.  I doubt you'd like the OE 3 1/8" risers though.

Jess, most if not all diameter bars will have the narrowed diameter in the center as well as at the grip area. I've been running 1.25" bars on my Valk for many years along with HD controls. I'm going stock on the controls for the I/S trike and want the large diameter bars on it. They're more beefy looking which I always thought looked better on the Valk. Comparing the bars I do have with the specs listed above, the bars I have are almost identical and were quite comfy for me over the years. The rise/height is the same at 6", width 32.5", pullback 16", center 12". They've worked quite well for me and want the same feel on the trike. The center section is 1" at the area where the bar clamps into place...as is the grip area, also 1" so everything fits. Can get it new at Wild 1 of California for $264 but I'm too cheap so will get the model I want off Ebay or Amazon for $40-50 less. I'm looking at Wild 1 Chubby model WO508 which has the specs I mentioned.
