Default Did some tinkering

Been busy playing with my new guns lately. But I managed to throw on some mini apes and put on my nacelle in prep for my quick detach windshield. Anyway enjoy the pics



I need to get a seven inch headlight to finalize it if anyone has an extra laying around. On a side not my buddy just bought a 93 wideglide with 3k original miles for three grand. I rode it today and it's nice. He definitely scored

My only complaint is that the bars are perfectly inline with the forks. I prefer mine pushed up more.

I traded for a 7" bucket but I'm not sure where it is. If i see it I'll let you know.

I guess it depends on how big you are... If I put mine beyond in line, I can't reach.....

yeah, they are going to be adjusted a little after I get the shield on. I'm not a giant (5'11"). I thought it would look cool with the smaller headlight but it doesn't do it for me aesthetically. Needs a 7inch

When I did my forks last winter, I somewhat accidentally set the bars with a bit of a rearward cant. Didn't notice until the fairing was back together, and instead of tearing it all back apart, decided to run them that way for a while.

Kind of came to like it, actually.

I keep mine in line with the forks or just slightly forward, makes a cleaner line. I see a lot of bikes with the bars pushed way forward, seems like they’d be reaching for the grips in a tight turn. To each their own, just my opinion.
