I couldn't ride with that dude with the GoPro...he was all over the place. He was in the wrong lane through curves and drifted into the wrong lane after every curve. Just f**ks it up for the bikes behind him.
Your bike looks nice though! That looks like a bada$$ road to ride once you learn where all the potholes are.

Thx guys ... I went with 14"'s .. probably could have got away with 16"s in retrospect but was trying to make it all 'flow' ...
Quick Story .. .I've got them pushed as far forward as possible.... BUT... on my first weekend out, they were forward another 1/2" ... I was out with mama on a ride and did a slow hard Uturn to the left... and about killed myself. The front brake lever bumped up against the windshield. Scared the **** out of me
Somehow I kept the bike up, mama squirming on the back .. and .... wrenched my arm/back/leg... lol. I didn't even realize what had happened or actually figure out exactly how it happened until a week later when I was backing the bike up ... turned the bars hard.. and .. front brake lever touched the windshield...
doooooah

I think he was doing that for the camera angle, otherwise you'd just be looking at everyone's back straight on.

Love the stance on this bike, great job. Toying with the idea of putting the Burly Slammer kit on my Low Rider, but wondering how it will ride being I am a big guy (+300 lbs)

That probably scared the sh** outta you, lol. It's little details like those that one always misses after doing a mod like changing bars.
