Looks **** but I can't imagine riding any longer than a half hour at a time. Comfort wise that has to be a bear.

Not like anyone ever accuses Harleys about being about performance... lots of comments and questions on looks, riding position and comfort...

How does the bike handle with the clip ons? Does it feel heavier on low speed turns? More input required in the curves? How are you liking the feel performance/riding wise?

I was looking at the console too, kiind of looks like it would hit you right in the middle of the chest depending on how you stretch out to grab the bar. Definitely different for a Harley, not sure if I am a big fan of them, but thats whats cool about Harley's, make em to fit your style!

That's PIMP! You usually see clip ons on sportys (a la Roland Sands), but I love it on the Bob. Hmmm... making me reconsider my Apes...

If you want comfort, buy a car.
If you want performance buy a sportsbike.

If you want a thumping V twin that you can modify to your own personal taste and say to every one else " **** you" buy a Harley.

What ever butters your muffin dude.

Please excuse this Englishman's pathetic attempt at the vernacular.

Cheers

sliding your tubes up, how much did that change the way the bike rides? My 14" windshield I am trying to sell is too short...not sure its worth sliding mine up an inch to possibly raise up my shield by 2 or so inches. wish someone would buy it so i could get an 18" or nothing at all...

bike looks awesome dude!
