G'day

REAL nice lookin' bike dude!! Hey what bars are they on it?

DeanO
Carlini Design 1.5" Freeway bars. Went from Carlini 1.5" Clean Sweep Drag Bars, to Carlini 1.5" Street Bars and finally the Freeway bars. I guess you can tell I really like Carlini Bars.

TM,

Love the looks of the "Boy". That is exactly what I want to do to mine. A few questions if you don't mind. Which sissy bar and backrest pad did you purchase? Which sissy bar Rack do you have? Did you lower the bike?

Ride hard and ride safe!

TM,

You made the RIGHT choice. I can't believe how much better your bike looks with those new bars!! I kinda went through the drag bar stage too but those new bars are the bee's nuts!!!

Sissy bar is Harley's mini rail and matching pad. Luggage rack is Motherwell's new Two-up rack. They are one of our sponsors and have an add at the top I think. Give them a call about it cause I know its not on their web site yet.

Lowered 1.75" front and back. Used a Ness lowering kit in the front. The Ness kit comes with shorter dampers so you can use the stock springs and the rear I used Harleys progressive adjustable height shocks.

Thanks for the props

Yes, internal wiring. Risers are Carlini 1.5" made for the bar. They are actually the only ones that will work. Kinda pricey but if you give them a call and talk to TJ (owner) and tell him that you talked to me (Trent from Tennessee) he might give you a deal and an even better deal if he has a set of what they call blemish. Check out thediscounted items tab on the web site. But let me tell you I have seen their blemish stuff and brother I can't tell much of a difference. If I'd have know what they consider a blemish thats the way I would have went. http://carlinidesign.com/ Tel: 714.432.9000

Just had a look on their site then. With the 1.5" risers, do they come with the bars included in the price or are they a seperate purchase? I was going to say I am surprised that I haven't noticed your bike before but maybe I did but with those new bars it is really impressive and everybody else seems to think so by the looks of it! Well done, you have good taste!
