Not my Bike.. But really dig the look of the Front Fender, Solo Seat and I think the look of the Stock Bars rolled up actually looks pretty tough.


What are yall's opinions on the look of the Stock Bars rolled forward?



probably still moving forward with 12" Monkey Bars or Factory 47 Malo Bars


But in the meantime thought about just rolling mine forward like this...


Afraid it may not be comfortable... I'm 5'11

I'm same height as you, I find it more comfortable with the bars pushed forward a little. About 2 inches or so. A set of 12" would be about perfect for me.

I like them straight up from the forks, looks cleaner that way IMO

I did the stage 1 also, with the same air filter and VH slip-ons. I did not change out the headers, but I'll probably just go with de-catted factory headers or Supertrapp headers using factory heat shields. I've had great experiences with de-catted factory headers in the past. The factory headers are very high quality, which is more than I can say about some aftermarket pipes. My friend is on his third set of Fuel Moto ceramic coated headers. They all split apart. They seem to be made out of very thin steel.

That's the same way I set mine up. I don't like to have to "reach" forward, feels more natural when you pick your arms up and they hit the grips. I like just a slight bend to the elbows when I am cruising, especially on long rides.
