Changed out the 12 inch wild one Outlawz for the 12 inch fat mini ape and riser from HD, thought the shape and true black color went much better with the classic look of the bike. Now just working on fabbing up a luggage rack to work with having a rigid mount sissy bar.

I have a similar setup. I went with Viking detachable bags and a Forged LLC ridge mount sissy bar with a luggage rack.

This is a link to a video of the rack.

I can't believe I forgot to post this in this thread. A couple weeks ago, I had my local H-D dealer install Wild 1 Outlawz 12" bars, risers, and clamp. They also installed new levers, black to replace the silver ones. I installed new H-D mirrors, black to replace the silver ones. And they look f'n cool. Finally, new grips: Avon Air replacing the stock grips. I'm glad I went with 12" bars instead of 14". And they were instantly more comfortable than the stock hollywood bars. Now I just need to replace the triple trees to black for an all black front end.

I just brought home my new Slim. Already changed the bars out. I guess I have a thing for apes.

Default Went on a 240 mile ride to Bikes and Breakfast

Yesterday morning I road to Monroe NY for a Bikes and Breakfast.
The Garmin initially brought me to the wrong address which was a blessing in disguise.
I end up on some cool, tight, twisty, mountain roads.

This link is to pictures of some truly beautiful bikes. I particularly love the "Old's Cool" bike

A beautiful day of riding!
