Prior to owning my Bob I’d never had Drag bars (I’ve installed plenty but never thought I’d like em). Until, my current bike had them and I’ve gotta say they are extremely comfortable and kinda bad-*** to go with it…… really easy on the shoulders and the wind control on the Super-slab is really mitigated. Not sure why but it’s like having a windshield? Leave it to the urgo’s but it works. Had it up to 90 mph yesterday and it should have been peeling me off the bike but it was just fine?

I hope you continue to show us your progress. I think your bike has a nice look to it.

Calm down Dude. I don't think anyone here is (An ill-tempered person full of resentment and stubborn notions)

Your build without front brakes was met with a normal response. Not wise in today's environment.

I for one like the back of your bike. I really like a slammed look. As for the handlebars I think you were on to something I really like which are drag bars

I just don't have the reach without leaning over so I made my own.

I liked the drag bar 👀 look 👍🏻😎 So much better than another bike with risers and a t-bar

I really want to do the drag bars, but the amount of work versus just getting the bike on the road with the apes is the thing. I'm thinking on it. However, I will I put the front brakes on whichever route I take.

Aye, I take the curmudgeon thing back.

As of right now, I'm back to putting the drag bars on. I make no promises. I'll try! Stay tuned, I guess.

First thing I did was tack the drag bars back on, and installed the flush mount fuel caps. The control switch covers would hit the caps with the stock cap on. This will fix it. I'll put some empty switch covers on next and double check that it's all clear.

These flush mount fuel caps came in a pair in which one is reverse threaded. So I had to buy two pairs.

Question, which of these clamps do you think looks better. The OEM one piece clamp or these two piece clamps. They both hold the bars equally well.

This is the mirror the bike will be getting, enough to make the bike street legal. It's made by Joker Machine.

Question: which riser bushings do you think will work best with these drag bars? Solid, poly, or rubber?
