FXDC New Bars, Crappy Pic
The stock bars were great around town but weren't working for me at 75+ speeds on the freeway so I put these old super glide style bars on. They're really close to stock but without the buckhorn pull back. A little bit more aggressive and a better wrist angle. I haven't test rode yet but they feel better on the driveway. Still thinking about other more exotic bar options but I think I'll be pretty happy with these. It moves everything forward about an inch so I had to take up slack on the clutch cable and tuck in the wires in a bit.
The bars on the Sportster are like a scaled down version. They're a little bit narrower with a little less rise. I wanted a similar feel that I had on the sporty. Probably would have been cheaper to buy a 6 speed, upgrade the shocks and install a 1250 kit for the sporty because the only complaint I had about that bike was the old lady wouldn't fit on the back and the shocks bottomed out
