Congrads on such a sweet LR. How long have you had? How many miles?

would the low rider bars fit on a 8 inch riser?

going clubstyle, but just not sure if it's a nice fit, seeing many go sportster bars with straight risers.

I'm contemplating pullbacks as well since i'm short

Thanks. It has 2939 miles. I bought it mid-February, and it had 1337 miles. The only problem I've had was the master cylinder, which was changed under warranty.

The stock bars are 2.5 inch rise if I remember correctly. Plus they are a little over 30 inches wide with a decent amount of pullback. It would be close, but I can't say one way or the other.

You would have more of a chance that they would fit the sportster bars because they are more narrow.

Many LR owners have changed their bars. I am one of the few that is perfectly happy with the stock bars. Fit me well.

They fit me too, but in all honestly I couldn't get past the looks of them. But, that's the cool thing about HDs is that there are so many different options and opinions on just about every part of the bike.

The options for customizing the LR are infinite. I really love seeing what all the many LR and LR S owners in this thread have done with their bikes.

I've made a lot of upgrades over the past month, but I think the best bang for the buck upgrade is the rear shocks. I changed to 13.5 Hagon shocks and the ride quality was night and day different. It feels like a totally different bike now for the better.

I encourage you guys that are considering rear shock upgrades to move forward. You don't have to go to 13.5, but the stock shocks felt like riding a hardtail in comparison to these new shocks. They are very reasonable money wise as well. I only paid 230 shipped for these.

I put a set of progressive 444's 12.5", are a big improvement over stock.
