    Hi Everyone, just joint this great Forum, it is nice to know all u XJ Fanatics ... SUPER!

    Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could tell me, were to get higher Handlebars (Chopper like), without needing to change the wires and cables? I seen couple of bikes in here, that do have thouse nice Bars on it!

    Also, I bought new aftermarket Blinkers, small once (Mini's), however, when I put them on, all four of them were blinking together !? The wiring is Black/Blackwhite - two wires! I put the black on HOT and the BW on the green and brown! I put the OEM lights back on and they work just fine! Any ideas? I searched already for this issure, however, could not find any answeres!

    I would appriciate any suggestions, since I would love to put them on (new Chrom and Style :lol: )

    Thank you all and HAPPY HALLOWEEN :evil:

    Depending on how high you want to go, your not going to have a choice about wiring and cables - That being said, ebay is a good spot to take a look.

    Make sure you ask if the bars are bent or tweeked when shopping on ebay.

    You can use virtually any 7/8" tubular handlebar, LOTS out there to choose from. If you go UP more than a couple inches at the most, you WILL need longer cables, some of the wires may reach. Likewise, substantially lower bars will require shorter cables (clutch anyway.)
