  • XLCH Right Handlebar 56073-70

    Years ago I removed the pressed-on throttle grip collar from the right handlebar on my 1970. I hacksawed it off in order to install an S&S carburetor assembly. Now that I'm reinstalling the original Tillitson, I must do penance for this sin.
    Finding a replacement 1970 right handlebar to match the left handlebar that came with the bike has been a bit if a challenge. I know that I need P/N 56093-70, but when looking on EBay, most sellers don't list the P/N, or even f they do, it can't be relied upon as correct. And visually, its extremely hard to tell if the item is the correct, given the subtle differences in the bends from one handlebar to another.
    Does anyone have, or know somebody that has this handlebar?
    Thanks...

      I’ve taken them off donor handlebars before with a little heat to expand the collar and patiently tapping off with brass. If Rubone doesn’t have what you need PM me. I’m sure I have one.

          Thanks for the info Otis. We followed the instructions from Mikuni and (I believe) S&S back then, and cut the collar off. I have a number of bars, with a couple that are suitable as donors that I can use to try heating and tapping-off. My main concern is NOT having to re-chrome the bar. That's become very expensive, at least in New York, so I really try to avoid that.. Difficult for a guy who was a chrome plating addict in his youth. But the restoration passion has cured me of that in my later years.!

                  I just got a set of 2 piece buckhorn bars back from Bills Customs that he sends out. $160 for the set. Not cheap but reasonable and they look good.
