Good thing you're not me. Why would I want those badges on my tank? I think it looks fine

10" risers with these bars need an extended brake line right? Do cables need to be extended as well?

Does that Thunderheader block access to the oil dipstick?

Did you sell the sissy bar in orignal pic of bike yet? If not pm I might be interested. Also can get you a good deal on a set of black t-bars with 8 inch rise just like the chrome ones on mine and I didn't have to change cables. Not sure how your speedo is mounted tho.

My 2 cents after rebuilding my fxdx now... 10" total rise you don't need any new lines or wires all I had to do was bend the top banjo bolt so it was a direct shot down instead of at an angle with 10" wctbars but that was absolute max I could get. Now with 12" slingshots I had to get new brake lines otherwise wires and throttle and clutch all fit no problem and have my gauges on my bars still. Also have a conleys fairing. If I knew their rep before I had bought it 6 months ago I would never had bought from them. Aswell as the fitment was a pain and the headlight relo block I have to tweak more to try getting it right... Sorry for the novel just letting you know my struggles with the same bike haha

Also if you would like the stock style tank emblem tmfcycle sells decals that are a replica of the original silk screened on decals from factory.
