Default From Iron to Street Bob!

Hi guys, first post to the Dyna section! Just picked up my new 2011 Street Bob and i 'm really excited! I kept the Joker Machine headlight (already installed) and the z bars from the iron.
I've searched this forum and also google for street bob with short z bars without any result. It seems that nobody has them. Is that possible? Any thoughts?

oh, i think it's time to change my profile pic and signature

Whoa, the Bob looks good with the Z's, good move. I like the sigs up high too, I had moved mine down to the lower tree because of my windshield.

You will love the ride of the Bob compared to the Sporty. It ain't no RK but it's a good bit better for long rides than the Sporty.

??? What are you guys seeing that I'm not. All three pics of the Bob still has the apes on it.

And that headlight is kinda funky. Does it really work good at night?

Congrats and welcome. You could be the first to throw some Z-bars on a SB and throw up some picks. Looking at your last ride, I'm looking forward to seeing what you're going to do with the SB.

I can't wait to see the bob with the z bars. I just ordered mine and was worried about how they would look.

Yep, still the iron in the signature pic, i was also confused from the comments
Anyway, about the headlight i use 3 out of 5 20w bulbs for low beam and it works just fine. At high beam all 5 bulbs are used and i could say that it's too much, especially for the other drivers!
