Default New to me 2011 Street Bob

So around a month ago, I bought a 2011 Street Bob from a friend. Before this, I had a 2001 Suzuki SV650S (v-twin sport bike, not really a true crotch rocket) for about 6 years.
I love this thing! Way different than what I'm used to.

Anyways, the previous owner put on drag bars, different grips, black levers, and Vance & Hines Short Shots exhaust.
Heres a couple pics of it the day I brought it home.






One of my son on it


As for my plans for it, I have highway peg mounts, a Vance & Hines V02 Air cleaner and Fuelpak programmer on the way. I also put on some low profile black mirrors and a Willie G skull derby cover. I do have passenger peg mounts and a passenger seat sitting in the garage, but I'll wait until the wife wants to go for a ride before I put them on.
I'll keep this thread updated with new pics and whatnot.

Bonus pic of my old Suzuki and my other bike that shares the garage with my Harley - 1972 Honda CL450

Congrats on the new bike. I like the look. some clip on bars would look pretty cool and probably pretty close to what your used to.

Drag bars look sick. Bet handles good with them on there

Here's a pic of the Willie G derby cover and pegs, and one of the mirrors.

That looks great, what mirror are those? I have the 2014 version and I want to change out the mirrors.

The mirrors are just eBay cheapies. I think I just searched "black Dyna mirrors" and found them. They were like $30 shipped.

I love the look of the bars, but I don't think they're going to be good for longer rides. My lower back starts to hurt after a while. The hand controls also touch the tank when turned all the way. I found some 2" riser spacers I think I'm going to pick up and see if that takes care of the clearance issue and is a little easier on my back. That's part of the reason why I wanted to switch from a sport bike to a harley. Hah.

Congrats! Good looking SB. I too came from riding sport bikes. Previous bike was an R1. Too much strain on the back and I ride everyday for my commute. My SB is muc more comfortable. Enjoy it!
