Default Spring upgrades Bars and bars…

Well, I ordered:
  • KST 12” Patriot Bars,
  • KST drop mirror brackets
  • HD Flat-Out Bar
  • HD rear bag bars (flat out style)
  • Black and Silver Adversary heated grips
All the parts should arrive early next week and I will get them installed. I have been waffling about the flat out bars for a while, but finally pulled the trigger.
Eventually, I will pick up the Ciro frame mounted highway pegs, but I think I have spent enough money for the time being.

I will post photos when done

A. It's good to have a plan...

B. It's good to have a plan to stop....

C. Plan "A" is always modified.

D. Plan "B" never works.

Sounds like great additions. Pic's req'd when you think you're done with plan "A".

Pics req'd when you get to plan "C".

When you reach plan "B", send pics of your new bike

Having heated grips myself, I would suggest sending them back and getting heated gloves. The grips only heat your palms and your knuckles are what's in the wind.

I really enjoyed the Heated Grips on my 2010 Ultra Limited, especially riding through Yosemite with snow along the side of the road.

I thought I was really going to miss them when I got my 2017 RGS but I haven't,

I had heated grips on my RoadKing and they were great. When you are on a run and get some unexpectedly cold weather, they are just a button push away

First thing I ask in bike won't start threads, is did you change the bars. I close the door and walk away
