Magnum CVO Touring Bike-Specific Handlebar Installation Kits

Changing the handlebars is one of the most common upgrades riders make , and one of the most important as good reach and comfort go straight to safety and handling . Even owning a factory custom , like a Harley CVO model , doesn ' t mean the factory-provided handlebars are comfortable or have the " right " look for everyone . When you replace the handlebars , the cables , brake lines and wiring will almost certainly need to be replaced too , and that can create a multitude of problems , especially if it is a CVO model where the parts may differ from the non-CVO version . Upstate New York based brake line and control cable specialist Magnum Shielding has introduced specific handlebar installation kits for 2008 through present H-D CVO Touring models when 12-inch to 17-inch ape hanger-style handlebars are being installed . These kits will take the guesswork out of locating the correct parts needed for handlebar swaps on CVO bikes , like needing a hydraulic clutch line instead of a clutch cable .
BLACK PEARL for ' 08- ' 12 FLHTCUSE
To cover all the bases , Magnum manufactures two premium Designer Series kits with Signature braids , STERLING CHROMITE and BLACK PEARL , with matching chrome or black chrome plated fittings . Kits are also offered in the XR Stainless product line , with three color combinations allowing the most discriminating customers to find something that will complement their bikes . Choices include clear coated stainless steel braided line with chrome plated fittings , and black coated line with either chrome or black chrome plated fittings . The fittings used in all the kits are highly polished before plating . Magnum Shielding ensures that all the hydraulic clutch and brake lines in the kits provide a precise OE fitment . You can be confident that the quality factory style construction uses all the fittings , tube assemblies , and manifolds essential for trouble-free installations while providing professional looking results . Each kit includes everything for a handlebar replacement – DOT brake lines , terminated throttleby-wire extensions , DOT hydraulic clutch line , hardware , plus fully terminated turn signal and switch wiring extensions . The fully terminated wiring extensions featured in these kits really make life easy when completing a handlebar installation . No crimping of terminals onto each wire is required before installation . In many applications the extensions are plug and play , which further reduces the installation time needed to complete the job . Magnum Shielding ' s premium brake and clutch lines incorporate PTFE tubing braided with DuPont Kevlar aramid fiber reinforcement , a Signature Magnum braid and a crystal-clear PVC outer jacket that will never discolor . The aramid fiber reinforcement greatly reduces line expansion for the ultimate in highperformance braking , an inherent benefit for your customers . XR Stainless DOT brake and clutch line assemblies are no slouch in the performance department either .
