    Hello, thanks for the reply! I want to change the handlebars and everything on it. I am 6ft 7in tall so risers wont cut it unfortunately and it doesn't solve the worn broken stuff on the bars either. Also I have a chrome fixation and everything on the bars now is black lol! Would something like this ---> http://www.phatperformanceparts.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BW-WIRED-CONTROLS-LATE&CartID= work?

    Hello from Prescott, AZ!

    Hello I just bought a 1981 Yamaha 550 Maxim and I want to customize it! The bike is stock and in great condition, but im really tall so I need to make adjustments as well as some cosmetic upgrades. Right now my handlebars are to small so I want to install 12inch ape hangers, I think its 7/8 bars but im not sure. Also all the switch housings, brake and clutch etc etc on the handlebars are broken and worn and I would like to replace EVERYTHING on the handlebars with CHROME! The speedometer works but the tac does not so I would also like to replace both with chrome as well. So my question is, where can I get these things and how do I know if it will wire up and fit? I don't mind if it ends up being expensive, I want to make this bike my own but I have no idea where to start and I don't want to start ordering stuff that wont fit or work! Any advice would be great!
