Default Good things are a coming

Just a teaser pic before my tins come back from paint. 98hotrodfatboy I'm sorry but the buckhorns had to go. I really wanted to like them due to my carpal tunnel but I just couldn't get myself to love them. Hopefully tins will be back in a couple weeks and I have a different exhaust being made as well.

I hear people rave about how great buckhorns are. I’ve had two bikes with buckhorns and I tried and tried to like them but they suck.
They have a terrible angle that my wrists just can’t get used to.

I’ve only had buckhorns on my (2) Harleys since 1978. Never wanted anything else, but to each their own.

I think it depends on your seat height (and your height). On my 72 FX I really like them, the boat tail seat has you sitting unusually high on the bike rather than sitting in the bike and I think thats a factor.
