Probably should’ve went with the 10’ ones, but with the 8’s you still have plenty of room for your cables. I really like the way these look and is a big upgrade from stock, can’t wait to see how they ride. Also big ups to the customer service team, I moved my bike from another state and needed them shipped to a different address to save gas. They were super quick to reach out to zombie performance to get it situated and lone behold here they are. These bars and the customer service team rock!
Perfect fit and looks great, kept all stock parts for now and worked great! Solid T Bars!
Adding onto my previous review: See installation Video.
Installed on a 2013 Honda Shadow Phantom.
THESE BARS worked out GREAT. This was hands-down one of the best upgrades I’ve done to the bike. The stance, the feel, and the overall look are a massive improvement over the stock bars (in my opinion).
What really pushed me to go with the 10” bars was David’s review. When he mentioned that he probably should’ve gone with the 10” instead of the 8”, it convinced me to give them a shot. He was spot on. The 10” height is perfect and still gives plenty of room for all the cables.
My goal from the start was to reuse the stock controls and grips, and while it did take a little creativity, it was absolutely doable. On the throttle side, I had to grind down some of the powder coating to bare metal so everything would fit correctly. That’s not a knock on the bars at all; that’s just me being stubborn and wanting to keep the stock setup.
There are a few small gaps with the stock controls, but once everything is tightened down, they honestly look great. The stock bars are 7/8”, and these T-bars are 1”, so that extra 1/8” makes a different with fitment.
Cable fitment was excellent. Plenty of room on all cables, and the brake line is just right. Any taller, and I probably would’ve needed to upgrade the brake line.
Between the quality, the fitment, the look, and the feedback from other riders like David, these bars are a no-brainer. Huge upgrade from stock, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out.
Highly recommend!
Thank you TJ and Zombie Performance!
Love the bars wish the stock throttle moved better without sanding
