Default New handlebars




Just installed some new handlebars on my 99 dyna superglide sport. Decided to go with LA choppers. I wanted biltwells but they didn’t offer them drilled for internal wiring. Wasn’t sure how I liked them right after install but after riding them, they’re great! Really liking the grips as well, extremely comfortable. Today I only did the handlebars/grips and rear shocks. I had chrome shocks and switched them for black.

I’m going to be doing some more work to the bike through the winter. So far on my to do list I have:

chopped front and rear fender
paint front and rear fenders
master cylinder covers
side mount (vertical) license plate
side mount brake light
powder coated lower fork tubes
remove rear turn signals
vance and hines big radius exhaust (wrapped with titanium heat wrap)
and lastly I have a solo seat on the way

my plan is black fenders with a pearl silver tank.

Nice. I removed my identical Biltwell windows this weekend to install 14" t-bars. I love the look, but due to being 5'-8", I had to rotate them to be parallel with the forks instead of rocked forward. If rotate them parallel with the forks, it puts your hands in a weird position and caused me a lot of neck/elbow pain. Judging by your extended forward controls, height shouldn't be an issue for you.

Looks good and look forward to seeing your mods.

If you like them, that's what counts!
