I know it's been a couple of weeks since this was posted, but I have been doing some research on replacing my current bar setup.

Your bike looks great! I really like the bars and riser combo. My current set up (12" T-bars) are giving me majors aches and pains in my shoulders. I think I need more pull back.

 

Bucket13,

Thanks for the positive feedback. I can tell you that since swapping out my 10 inch z-bars with the flanders and risers my back pain has drastically been reduced. I can ride much longer and happier now. Much less rider fatigue for sure.

Good luck with your search for the right bar/riser combo.

Cheers,

Tom

 

Tom,

What did you do to lower your bike?

 

Two things,

1: SE 180 tire on the rear, (it has a lower profile)
2: Put 12 inch harley Street bob shocks on it. (my original FXDC shocks were 12.5 inches.

I also have a tank lift and low profile seat which adds to "look" of the lowered rear.
Hope this helps.

Tom

 

What are the specs on the 180 tire?

Thanks man... How about the tank lift... How involved is that?

 

20 minutes 2 bolts. Get it from a guy called jackyl on the forums. he sells em on ebay under motor city creations. I have bought 3 from him over the last few years.
