Texelent Bar for GL1500

Post by 08Wingrider »



I have a Texelent Bar that I believe is for a GL1500 but I can't confirm that. I am hoping there may be someone that has one that would be willing to send me some dimensions of what they have. I would need "end to end". Center of bend to center of bend. And, if possible, the degrees of a bend.

The bar I have doesn't fit a 2015 GL1800 so I'm thinking it for a GL1500 I once had.

Hmm...50 views and no answer.
I guess no one else knows what a texelent bar is either.

P.S. I've looked at the picture but I can't even imagine where
that would fit on a GL-1500....or what it would be used for.

Is that bar mounted on the handlebars to span the gap between the grips to be able to mount gps, phone, etc...
Just a wild guess, not sure if a product like that even exists.

Why do you believe that the Texelent will not fit the 2015 GL1800? Do you have the install instructions?
The following picturres were found here --> https://pbase.com/fredharmon/texelent




Texelent mounted low.


Texelent mounted high.

Ah HA! So THAT'S what it's for!
Could be a handy thing to have.
Looks like a great place to mount a camera.
