Hey All!

picked up an 09 Vstar 1300 yesterday for $2500, my one qualm is the handlebars. It has swapped bars from a 950 but I’m looking for something taller. With the Tach in the way, I’m not sure what bars I could snag without relocating.

Anyone have input on some TBars or Mini Apes that will fit?
Or how involved is the tach relocation? Thanks

Not sure what you mean by tach, do you mean speedometer?

Thats the thing… im not. Im seeing recs for the 950 bars (that i have) and other beach style bars, nothing to what im looking for. Then theres posts for other models, its not too easy to filter through which is why im asking for this specific bike with the speedo mount and if anyone is running the bars i asked about

Any 1 inch bar will fit. Everyone is built a tad different, have different reach and likes for height of bars. Kinda like asking what woman feels best in your arms, some like slim, others like a little thicker, or some like something in-between. I would suggest to go to a local bike dealer that has multiple different bikes. Sit on them, see what bars fits you best. Have a tape measure with you. Measure the bars, height, width and pull back. You might not get exact measurements, but close. Then search one of the hundreds of sites that sell bars. Pick one that matches your measurements.
