SpacerJimmers incoming..
Did my exhaust install. Ordered up some spacers from Spacerjim, are they pretty straight forward install? I managed my T-header, and PC5 install all by my lonesome,
will this be difficult? feel kinda sketchy messing with my handlebars which is why i ask.
Cant wait though.. will give me some back relive on the long trips i hope with my 6'3' frame.

I think you'll like them. The change isn't that drastic, but it's exactly what I needed. Don't forget to pick up some longer bolts! The install is not too bad, but a bit frustrating without an extra pair of hands while you start the bolts.

It's not hard, just did a set on my FXDF today. Make sure the bolts you get are grade 5 or better... the factory bolts are grade 5 with three marks on the heads. Get an old tee-shirt and drape it over your dash / tank to lay the bar onto when you take the bolts out. Check to see the position of the headlight before you loosen anything, you might need to aim it downward to get the bolts / wrench out. You'll need a 3/4" wrench (I used two wratcheting wrenches, one long to crack 'em loose, one short to spin 'em out) and a couple 9/16" to loosen the headlight and aim it down a bit. You'll probably have to pull some of the wires a little to gain some slack, but it's not hard. Good luck!

I want a set, but it will cost me $218 to put $49 spacers on. I'll need to go 2" longer on all of my cables, so I'll get steel braided ones....
My next mod after I get back from Colorado in July....
