The handlebars on my X1 are slightly tweaked. Saw a pair of the black XB9sx bars and thought that would be kinda different. Anyone know if they will fit without any cable mods. How bout the height, width, ect. compared to the factory bars. I don't mind the riding position of the factory bars now (except one hand is slightly higher than the other).

If you end up just wanting a set of X1 bars to go back on it, I just put clubmans on my cyclone and I have an extra set of bars laying around now...

That sounds like a good idea.
When I crashed my X1, I replaced the bars with generic $15 dirtbike bars with the crossbar ground off to make clearance for the instruments.
There is a good amount of cable on an X1 if you cut the tie-wraps in the harness.
I had to tweak the clutch cable guide at the lever to make it line up nicely.

I will look into the XB9sx bars. That sounds more sexy. : )

Ok now I am really curious. I didn't think about the crossbar not clearing the guages. I will have to look into that.
