Want to get 1 to 2 inches higher than what the oem 1998 White Lightning bars are. Can anyone tell me for sure what bar will work and if stock cables will work as well?

1 to 2 inches will require new cables.

Blast bars should do the trick for your extension, though.

Put Flanders 650-01212 bars on my 97 S1. Cut the width down to 30.5". Easy reroute of cables no replacement on mine. Good hand and back position for me.

Maybe S3T bars? I dont know how much different they are from S1, but they are the highest OEM Im pretty sure
Let me know if youre looking for a bar, I've got one in the garage

I can't verify, but I've been told that S3T and Blast! bars are one in the same...

XL - I've heard the same thing, but like you, cant verify it (dont have PNs or a blast model to compare)

but...go to a dealer and order S3T bars.

Then, go to the same dealer and order Blast bars.

Which do you think will get a stranger look? They built Blasts *last year*. More likely to get the right part, methinks.

I have a set of awesome aluminum bars that are high risers. You dont need longer cables...


I just went to a low rise set.
