Gidday deezy139.....they are street slammers and they make you sit back and more upright than the standard bars, I find it a lot more comfortable for me as i have back problems.

Added the RSD fork brace to see if it shows off the cool tread pattern of my Commander IIs a bit more. I kinda like it, though I like the look of the stock fender too.

Think I'll keep the brace though, because it actually does firm up the front end ride a bit. Some folks said the RSD brace wouldn't do that. But I do notice the difference. Not huge, but it's there.

These are for Dutch101st, you said you wanted to see true duals on a slim. I still have a lot more to do, like get all the damn shiny stuff off. These are samson 33's, and my advice for anyone is order during the winter. I waited 15 weeks for these. Rode them for 4 days before I had to leave the country.

Right on man, thanks for the reply. I'm feeling the scrunch a little with the stock bars, the street slammers are one of the two I'm looking at to help with that. Did you need to do any control extensions or does it work without them?

Sample- Thanks for the pictures...looks like there is about 3-4 inches distance below the axel- is that about right? I want to go with a bit bigger on my saddle bags and thinking TDs are the ticket.

SoCal- Your bike is looking badass without the front fender! The blacked out fork tubes really stand out more without it. I am sure you already mentioned it, but does the bike feel a bit more stable with the Michelin CIIs? Better traction?

The Commander IIs are so much better in every way compared to stock. Including stability on corners. It's pretty amazing.

Thanks for the compliment, Dutch.
