It's been a while since I've showed the updated look of my Springer, although I've done nothing to it for the past three years.......

Thank you both! Thought about buying a few more and selling them. They should've done them like this from the factory IMO

In all seriousness I contemplated selling it just over that rear fender! I don't like spring seats which are reauired for most kits and couldn't find anything worth buying. Glad I made my own solution now I think it's just right haha.

Could a passenger seat fit on it if one wanted (had) to?

So I have a general question regarding the stock bar/ risers combo on springers with rubber insulated risers.
I nust rode my wifes x- bones for the second time ever today and needed the adjust the left mirror.
Couldn't get it where I wanted, so I kept forcing it. This while I was riding. And I noticed the bars and the risers moved a bit. Not a lot. Just a 1/4" max and sprung back to normal when I released the mirror.
that normal?
