Yes, was one of the first things I added to the bike.

To add, I like the Road Warrior but I'm not sure I want the extra wind shield up on top of the fairing. That's the one that has stalled me from fully making up my mind on the Doug's fairing.
Same dilemma I had with fairings. Ended up with the road warrior and the cafe windshield, it curves back and keeps the line of the fairing instead of sticking straight up. Dougz mini was too flat in front for me, didn't wrap around enough. The dougz bullit was just too damn big. Wanted something between and the road warrior with cafe shield fit the bill.
What did you do for cables and brake line with the bars, +4" ?

those are real nice! Do they love the brake lever back closer to you?

I'll have to consider that fairing set up now. As far as the bars, I had to swap the upper clutch cable and brake line and had to extend the control and signal wires. The throttle wires had plenty of slack to work with the 12" bars. They may even work with 14" of rise.

I got the 41" clutch cable and +4" brake line. Used plug and play 8" wire extensons.

Custom dynamics sent me a led taillight to review. This thing looks amazing! Taillights are integrated. All plug and play no splicing. Can connect old turn signals As well with the female plugs already wired up.

Added the black ARP bolts to the side panels and gauge cluster. It's so much better. Here's a link if you're interested.
