    G'day all.

    My Rocker is going in to Perth HD tomorrow, for a fair bit of work:
    *Pre-emptive 24k service (it's actually only done 19k, but I am riding it to Cairns in April, so want to make sure it's fit for the haul!)
    *New pipes (Currently have V&H Big Rads 2->2, but they're just too common now, so changing to chrome Freedom Performance Amendments)
    *Proper tune (Bike currently pops and cracks HEAVILY on any engine decel over about 1200rpm...Guessing when they were originally installed, the workshop just downloaded a stage 1 map and let it go!)

    Which brings me to the final task, and the reason why I'm posting this...

    I am also having new bars installed: A set of custom made, Burleigh Highballs, 12 inch height, 2 inch clamping risers, 1-1/2 inch diameter.

    My question is this: I currently have a set of Burleigh 1-3/4 inch diameter T-Bars on a 10 inch pullback, integrated rise, on the bike...Will changing to the custom bars cause any problems, from a handling perspective?

    I have been through a myriad of posts on here, and came across one that said that changing the weight of bars, can cause a 'wobble'.
    I'm assuming that with the new bars, there will be a loss of weight, but will that cause any issues, assuming the workshop install the bars PROPERLY?

    Cheers in advance.
