Yamaha 1300 Tourer - Yamaha 1300 Tourer Fansite

I just put this set of handlebars on this week. They came off a Victory Cross Country. Since the wife rides a Cross Roads, I had a chance to ride here bike with another set of Cross Country bars we bought at the dealer. This set came from a guy in California off the Victory forum for really cheap ($25 shipped) so I didn't have much to lose by trying them out on the 1300. A little background for the newbies: I had White Brothers Longhorns for 3 years. (17" pullback and 39" wide). I had to but new SS cables at +6" over stock so I have plenty of extra cable to play with. These bars measure 16" from the mount to the front of the grip. From the looks of what I have for extra cable, I think stock cables will work. What little time I have ridden since I installed them they are very comfortable and I am able to easily do a slow speed full lock turn.

I just finished a 405 mile ride today. The bars are very comfortable.
