Default New Wild1 bars...

I haven't posted much due to some other bike projects I have been working on but I thought I would share some changes I just made to the bob.

At first I was going to sell the Harley because it wasn't as comfortable to ride as my other bikes but I wasn't going to give it away and didn't want to sell it locally (cause I didn't want to see it) I finally decided to keep it and just make a few adjustments to fit my riding style a bit better.

Also my old a$$ having back problems and circulation issues I had to ditch the RSD vintage apes and do with something a little more user friendly. After thinking about it long and hard I decided to go with Wild1 chubby "street fighter" bars. Actually they fit my more aggressive riding style and are a lot more comfortable "for me" than my last set up. Next up might be switching back to mids.

The sissy bar is on for a weekend trip I have coming up.

Nice! If you aren't comfortable then the looks aren't worth a lick. What'd you do with the old bars?

That looks really good. Your bike looks exactly the way I have been planning to make mine look. I love it. I still have my mids on though and I plan on keeping them.

Looks great. I personally love that set up. I need to post new pics of my last set of mods. I went with Wild 1's myself on my Chubby Robert.
