Now you did it. I've known folks in their 30's that act like old people and I know folks my age and older that are very active and youthful. I'm 60 & I believe age is more a state of mind than anything else. I'll ride a FXRT but you won't catch me on a 900 lb. Barcalounger. And no HOG meetings, buffets, AARP, or blue pills for me,either.

Back to the original topic. I changed a few things on my 94 fxlr. I may be the odd man out here as I've found the stock handlebars to be quite comfortable.

I'm still trying to figure this out, you say the above quote...but then you post 2 pictures... of baggers. WTH?
Also FWIW, the first picture I posted is a FXRT.

That's a FXRT? With forward controls? That's not the FXRT I'm talking about.
