Default My Upgrades so far

Well the bike being only 2 weeks old I have changed somethings so far. Screamin Eagle slip on's, Foward controls, license plate relocation, front turn signal relocation and (free) drag bars. I'm not real happy with the drag bars. They are 10in rise and to me they are a little to high (but feel REAL good). I'll try to take better pics.

I see you've been diagnosed with the dreaded 'deflated wallet' syndrome, that pretty much all here suffer from

A tank lift will help even out the tall look of those bars.

You can put in a couple of small plates that lift the front of your tank up, from the original mount. Depending on your accessory arrangement, it can make the visual flow of the bike more appealing. Also some have mentioned additional benefits such as access to the top of the engine and better air flow.

one con is that your gas gauge does not read exact anymore...
One of the forum members here makes the lift kit (Jackyl). Not sure of the price..

I like the bike! What is wrong with the bars? Do you feel they look too tall.? I think they look great! Most important is how comfortable they are. Cool thing is they were free, so you can change to a lower bar if you choose to do so in the future without loosing any money.
