    I'm looking at putting a 29" broomstick bar on my Iron.

    Has anyone got one, and is there somewhere local that can supply at a good price?

    Thanks for that - so it has the indents for the wiring? I thought I'd do braided lines anyway, how far out are the other cables (clutch etc)?

    Hi PK2, would like to see a pic of your bike with the new bar if you get a chance. Good luck.

    Keen to see how you find the riding, I really like the look and ridability with the broomstick!! Did about 130 - 150kms over the weekend and its great on long distances!!

    Got it on today, easier than I thought! Had to re route the clutch cable a bit, but everything else is good. will get a braided front brake line at some stage to get rid of the s bend in the rubber brakeline, or my neighbour has the tools to make up brake lines so might shorten the metal section to straighten out the rubber section (if you know what I mean!)
    Went for a ride - love the riding position, but can feel the weight on the wrists around town a bit more, but on the highway it is sensational as the wind on the chest holds you up a bit more and takes the weight off the wrists. Loving it!!
    Took some good pics, will sit down across the weekend and have a go at putting them up.

    Just an update after a few rides over the past few days: love the riding position! Can definitely feel the extra weight on the wrists around town, great on the highway!
    Strangely feels heavier pushing it around in the driveway?
