I had to get the screws fixed yesterday at the Harley dealer. They got cross threaded. It wasnt safe to ride. Lucky me. Anyway. The mounts are on. I just have to bolt it on now. I'll have pics at the end of the day. I have the chrome one btw. Good weather today. Should be able to test it.

Pics as promised. I rode her for an hour today and tried the bar. I still think I can use riding pegs on the sides. Putting your feet up on top of the bar instead of out is ok but not the position I wanted my legs to be at. Another thing. I have a 9.5 foot with my boots. I just clear the shifter and the brake without hitting the bar. So if you have big dogs this bar may not be for you. Other than that I'm happy with the look and I love the chrome. It was easy to bolt on after removing the 8 bolts on each side of the floorboards.

Great, thanks for the pics. Looks good. My wife is considering one for her Switchback.

Bike looks good! I was going to recommend chasing the threads with a tap to make sure you got all the old locktight out. I have being thinking about one of these to go along with my Bob's Back transition I am planning on starting this year.
