Thumbs up New Bars & Risers
Just swapped out my stock bars and risers for a new Low Rider bar and a set of 6" pullback risers. Installed a new set of polyurethane bushings while I was at it (thanks for the reminder Jay). In a word, WOW! What a difference the change makes. My right wrist doesn't bother me anymore and the riding position is outstanding. The whole thing took about 45 minutes with the hardest thing getting the left grip off. It's a fairly new Kuryakyn so I didn't want to screw it up.

Thanks to Koppster for the original idea and Jay for the additional advice on the 6 inchers and the bushings.

Pictures are on their way.

I just installed my new 32 inch apes with frozen yogurt bushings. Pics to come...



Well, maybe the real world has occupied Royce for the time being...can't fault a guy for not being a computer nerd.

I know, I'm a slug guys. Got lots of reasons, but they all sound like excuses. I'll get some taken and uploaded this weekend.
