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

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.
