Review Summary:
This was a pain for a guy like me to install. First, it should have come with chrome hardware at the price Cobra is asking. It would cost them a whole lot less to buy them in bulk than it does their customers to go out and buy a handfull. Second, the bolt on the brake assembly just plain ol didn't fit. I had to go back out again. The bars are a tight fit, slightly scrunching a nearby radiator hose. Had to have help getting all the bolts in. I could get the bar to move enough, but needed someone else to put the bolt in while I pushed on the bars. The reviews that advise putting the bottom on first were dead on. In my case it was a must. I especially reccommend putting the bolt back on the brake cover first. Finally, I wish someone would have made a fatty bar for this bike. At the end of the day I do like the looks. They sorta bulk the bike out a bit. Hopefully, they will save me a little misery as I just graduated from sport bikes and have yet to get used to the feel of the cruiser.
