I know the 2010's come with the high bars, but none of the 09's (at least early ones) came with that option.. I dont mind paying the $200 for the kit seeing as I got the bike for $5750. Its just getting it all to fit right. Even the dealers have to struggle with the change over!! :

Not to get too far off the topic, but I bought '09 1125cr brand new straight from the dealer with the high bar "kit" already installed. One thing I have noticed is that my throttle does not "snap" back when I twist it, but rather "creep" back to zero. Thinking this would be an issue covered under the "UNLIMITED MILE-2 YEAR FULL FACTORY WARRANTY" (booming announcer voice) I took it to my local HD stealership. They told me that unless the dealer I bought it from (two states away) recorded the bar upgrade in the VIN, I'm on my own as far as fixing it goes. 
To make a long story long, that's something to keep an eye out for when installing the kit. They told me that there is some sort of spacer next to the throttle body that needs to be "squeezed" together or something... obviously it hasn't bothered me enough yet to tear into my bike. Just a heads up! |

| Maskido, They are correct that you need to "tweak" the cable bracket that the throttle end of the cables bolt to. There is a post somewhere in the badweb archives that has a well documented and photo detailed write up. I used it when I did my install and it worked like a champ! | |

| Yup - I just did the throttle body bracket "tweak" and it made all the difference on my install - no binding from lock to lock. | |

So I got my bar kit today. Was going to wait till tomorrow evening to start, but we all know how that goes!  I have the bars on and everything bolted on, but need to bleed the fluid on both lines. My question reffers back to an earier post about tweaking something?? My cables seem ok, but the throttle kinda rolls back and not all the way..It doesnt snap back. Anyone who has any info on what they did to make thiers better would be GREAT!

| I tried the badweb site. Didnt find much so I did it myself. Took me awhile but its done! Had to mess with the cables a bit. They didnt quiet seem long enuff. I bought the selinoid plug but its on order. So to avoid the engine light, i just took the old plug end, cut it and spliced the wires till i get the new one. It was a pain, but now I know my bike alittle better and that always helps down the road. Thanks for all who gave thier input! | |

My dealer in the UK wanted to stitch me up with some silly price to change from the clubman's bars to the higher bars. I argued that the demo bike I rode had the highbars (and it was an 09 bike). We agreed that they would change the bars FOC at the first service.
The new bars really change the feel of the bike and as someone else wrote "I can now turn my head" which is just as well 'cos those silly mirrors are even worse with the high bars. The bike is more fun to ride with the highbars and less of a serious scraper. One disadvantage I have noted is the front wheel seem more likely to launch its self skywards

Yes, the mirrors are now useless!! Think I will get some bars ends or something a little lower and mount some blinkers on the side panels around where the clubman bars use to be.
The bike seems lighter and a lil more manuverable as well! |
