Can you post a better pic of the fairing you installed? Like a straight on pic?

I ride mine cross-country and have dragged knees on it, you just have to put a little effort in

Yes, I do. The seat pad gives me a perfect riding position. I'm 5'6 and with the seat pad and mid-mount controls, the LR fits me like a glove.

I'm also 5'6" and swapped the bars with Big Al's risers and Lucky Dave's bars, both with pullback. It took a couple of rides to get used to it but now I can really feel how it handles way better.

I was really close to going with the black Bassani, I love how mean it looks but I was forcing a look on the bike. I ended up embracing the chrome.

The chrome looks better IMO, too many blacked out dynas out here...

Risers are 8.5", bars are 3.5". Stock throttle cables and wires worked perfect. Brake and clutch lines are new, longer ones.
keep in mind that you need to replace your headlight bucket and need a bottom tree headlight block if you are working on a Low Rider.
