Default Raising the bar...

But I only have one bike (Slim). So choosing is tuff.

For starters, I added a 1 and 1/2 inch tank lift up front and 1" on the back. So the must clear the console.

HD makes thse which add a nice touch to the already retro theme... http://www.harley-davidson.com/store...FY8WHwodH_QM0A
But honestly; are they really worth that much when so many other custom brands do theirs for so much cheaper. Albeit not as authentic?

Then there are beach bars. Which in all honesty would work, since all I'm really after is better reach.

Suggestions? Please help a brother out.

Refresh us with a pic of your bike splattt

Those risers so look nice and I'd have no doubt the qualitys there but I'd say the big price comes with that brand stamped into it. Im sure there are just as good quality aftermarket versions out there but I doubt the price tag will be much cheaper, you get what you pay for

You are so right my friend.
When trying to maintain a theme, there will be times when price is moot.
Agreed that the MOCO did a good job with that kit. And my hands are sought of tied with having to need for an extention. But having an extra pair of eyes and a vision for this sought of stuff will come in handy, so thanks for steppin in brother
