I see a lot of you guys lower your bikes and put on ape hanger bars. I have a different take on the Superglide they should have built....... My bike has XR1000 bend handlebars, Racetech gold valves and springs in the front forks, and Ohlins shocks on the rear. You can see a lot of rear tire on my bike! It actually has "sag" like a dirt bike when I sit on it and ground clearance through the twisties is never a problem. I am working on a Brembo front caliper and am looking forward to wearing out these stock tires so I can get some Metzlers or perhaps the Screamin Eagle Dunlops........

Hi,I'm not familiar with the term "SAG"what does it mean?You're bike looks great,I know it's a bit off subject but how much louder than stock is the Pipe & does it fit with standard foot position.
Cheers.Graham.

RE: Superglide Sport

Sag is that movement down of the shock when you sit on the bike. My shocks sag more than the stock HD shocks. The pipe is a rinehart and is loud compared to the stock 06 pipes. If you keep the revs down it is OK but really barks at full RPM. There is a spacer in the install kit and it does move the right footpeg out about .375 inch. I am afraid you must have increased noise for increased performance...........
