does anyone know the difference between the Fxdb and lrs forks/triple trees (besides the obvious wheels/dual brakes), specifically the height difference?

I posted a thread with the apes I installed from my old street bob, but for some reason with the same apes and same height risers, my hands are much higher when riding. On my street bob, they were just under shoulder height, however on the lrs my hands are about an inch or two higher than my shoulders. I thought the front ends were identical in size/height but apparently I was wrong.

It sucks too cause theyre just high enough for my hands to start to go numb when riding, and it doesn't take long. I'm actually thinking of ordering 14s and doin all this **** all over again. Now I just want to know what the difference is.

 

streetbob risers may be shorter than lrs risers.... got lower risers?




yeah, thats taller, bud.

happens to all of us. We are human.

 

I read on a post on here that WG bars are around 10" and a direct swap with the FXDL - even with stock risers. Not sure if that is too short for you... Once I get started on mods, I may end up doing the 10's.

 

No, I swapped the lrs risers out for ones that were the same size as the street bob. I thought I mentioned that but I must not have. Sorry lol it's Monday morning.

 

you did mention it. Thats on me

 

mini worries. Just out of curiousity, how come you don't like Apes on a lrs?

 

Not walking into that trap. I just wouldn't do it. I hate apes

 

lol it's not a trap I was just curious. It's really not that big a deal cause it's my bike and I like em but whatever, different strokes right? I'm the opposite, I love apes and hate t bars.

 

don't worry. Your in the right club. Apes for life! Those T bar guys don't know what they are missing out.

 

lol here we go....pretty sure this is what cvaria was trying to avoid.
