That's because he had a ton of requests to make them on here before they kicked him off. At the time Bitchen Seat Co was the only place that had the riser extensions and they were selling them for 599 plus shipping.

This guy made them and sold them at the prices you see and Bitchen Seat Co. Finally dropped their price on them to compete. I got mine from CJ motorsports.

Welcome to the forum,

You should ask this question in the pre 2018 Softail section, you are in the wrong section here, it is for the >2018 Softails.


Pre 2018 Softail section

Stock Sportster mirrors are longer and do the job nicely.

I have the long stem HD mirrors and they work just fine for me, the Bob should come from factory with these.

I had bought the long stem HD mirrors initially. For me, they are slightly better (I can see a part of the road behind me/next to me), but ended up getting what @FatBob2018 has - and with long stem mirrors on that, it is perfectly positioned. I'm sure it varies based on each rider's height and riding style

Excessively much oil does not come out of the breather bolt, if so you probably have too much oil on the engine, adjust this to the correct level and the problem will disappear.
I ran that external breather mod since I bought the bike, but the external filter / catch-can shows no emissions, so to speak.
