    Cool! Looks like a stock Suzuki bar from an 1100E model.

      The position of the cables might be causing the throttle to stick, too. If they're lower bars with stock cables, the throttle assembly might just need to be pushed out a little towards the end of the bar or re-angled a bit.

        Good advice. Also, make sure the end of the grip (inside the throttle twist tube) isn't rubbing on the end of the bar.

          This was the case not only did the bike reve up to 3 grand when turned on. It seemed the clutch cable was not functioning correctly. I ell have to be running the bike and adjust the cables to where they function correctly AND look good. Thanks guys!

            I did the same thing to mine, I ordered the bikemaster daytona bars, throttle stuck and revved. I will try moving things around tomorrow. Thanks for the tips

              Yes, shorter bars can cause the throttle cable to have too tight of a bend, or radius, causing it to stick inside the housing. Try to get the bend not so tight, or try to find a shorter cable.

                After you're done adjusting the cables, start the bike in neutral, and swing the handle bars back and forth, maxing out the turn radius each way.

                If the idle jumps up, you need to re-adjust.
                If not, then you should be good.

                    The bars look fab!

                      my throttle was getting stuck on the end of the bars, moved them 1/8 of an inch, working fine now. thanks for the tips.

                        those look great! Did you also replace the stock grips? Im goign to do the same but it appears the throttle cable ends in a part that is affixed to the throttle grip.. do new grips have that already in place? All the images ive seen of aftermarket ones, they do not. How did you workaround this?

                            They look to be superbike bars like I have on my 850. Z1 sells them.

                              I'm looking for something a little closer to dirt bike bars that I am used to.
