Looking at a decked out Fatboy that has these hangers (not sure what generation as I see there are at least (2)), hydraulic clutch/ brakes... and much more...
QUESTION: I have already read a couple horror stories regarding these internally wired bars and push button everything, hydraulics...
1. what are your thoughts on this system/brand?
2. cost to revert back to traditional brake and clutch system, controls and wires
3. I live in the Mid Atlantic, and once temps really drop I store the bike... I am reading that temps effect the hydraulic system a bit?
4. things to look out for and comments on overall care.
offer overall thoughts/comments/opinions from experiences only please
thank you.
