This forum is a wealth of knowledge and I look forward to picking your brains going forward. I do have a quick question for those that have the Harley street slammer bars. How tall are you and how is that reach? I like the look of the bars but I am only 5”8 and don’t want to feel like I am on a crouch rocket again. Thanks for your help.

I'm 5'9", the street Slammers are a perfect fit for me. The reach is to the rear of the gas caps which with where the foot pegs are, make for a slight lean and bent elbow. Not at all like a Ninja.

I think the old Buckhorn bars would be an improvement, the "new" Low Rider bars are like a cross between Buckhorn and Beach bars.
BTW, should the name Low Rider be one or two words?

It’s two words. It originated as “low” ride. Hence “Low Rider” Just like it’s published everywhere on its manufacturers material.

edit: wondering why it’s even a question?

Mufflers

I have been told 2 different things. The CAT are in the mufflers and that they are in the headers. So what the heck is it. Asked a guy at the dealership today who said I believe they are in the headers. I believe means I don’t know but I will blow smoke up your *** and tell you it’s fog.

If the CAT is in the mufflers, if you put after market mufflers do you need to do a tune?

Thanks
