Extreme response OEM replacement handlebar installation kits

Upstate New York based specialist , Magnum Shielding Corporation ’ s XR stainless handlebar installation kits have been a big hit with dealers since they were introduced last year . Designed to complement their existing line-up of popular ‘ Designer Series ’ handlebar installation kits , XR kits have the same great fit and excellent quality that Magnum are renowned for , but at an economical price . Magnum offers the convenience of easy to order part numbers ( by application and handlebar heights ) with all components needed for the installation included in the kit . They are available for popular ABS and non- ABS Harley-Davidson motorcycles with 12 ” to 17 ” ape hanger style handlebars in two colors – clear coated stainless steel or black OE style . Both versions feature highly polished chrome plated fittings . The brake line assemblies used in the kits are not generic or universal style plumb-together lines , but rather complete brazed assemblies that duplicate the
OE style ’ s optimal fitment for safe routing and appearance . They are definitely the right combination for easy , no hassle professional installations and they ’ re designed to exceed all DOT FMVSS-106 requirements for safe on-road use . All XR brake lines use an “ enhanced construction of heavy gauge stainless steel embedded in a tough , abrasion resistant nylon outer jacket that provides outstanding durability and a superior braking response ,” says Magnum owner Scott Hurwitz . “ Hence the acronym XR , which stands for Extreme Response . “ The kits that contain stainless steel braided control cables are coated with a clear PVC non-yellowing jacket . The black kits ’ OE style cables incorporate a black vinyl covering , with both styles offering exceptional protection for paint or chrome . All cables have a low-effort , high-efficiency design that meets or exceeds all OE specifications for fitment , construction and endurance .” The kits include throttle and idle cables or throttleby-wire extensions , clutch cable or XR hydraulic clutch line , XR brake lines , copper crush washers , hardware , turn signal and switch wiring extensions . “ It ’ s a given that Magnum is known in the market for their premium Sterling Chromite and Black Pearl braids ,” says Magnum ’ s General Manager , Tom Vierthaler , “ but these new XR Installation Kits are the first economically priced kits we ’ ve ever offered , and given our reputation for accurate fitments and quality , this has been nothing short of a home run .” Scott went on to say that “ while the pricing is easy on the wallet , there ’ s no compromise on quality . These kits offer all the fit , function and performance characteristics that our popular ‘ Designer Series ’ kits are known for , and are backed by the same warranty .”
