I like to make them a little more factory stock, but that is a nice one also.

Beautiful bike. Can you share the bar specs? I recently inherited an '81 and am looking for near factory options for different bars than it currently has.

Take it from a guy who had Harrington Rods due to an accident... 100 Miles is all I can go without a Break anyway...and she does that Handily...
it is, after all...Stock in almost every way, excepting seat, bars, and mufflers.. Anything else, is an Illusion!!

BTW; The Original FXWG (1980) had 4" risers and Drag Bars...just like the FXS (1977)... Been running them since then... even on my FXR, and Ironhead.
