Aviator... did she mention the manufacturer or part number? From looking at their website, it doesn't appear that they are a manufacturer, so I'm still wondering if they are those LA Choppers ones or not, especially since that price is right about in line with the Drag Specialties MSRP for them.

no, but she acted like she knew exactly which ones I was talking about, and even called Danny by name. since Danny said they were 2 inches higher than stock, I don't think they are the LA 5" ones.

Instead of risers/pullbacks has anyone installed the 504 bars ? I'm told they allow you to sit back a little instead of slightly hunched forward. Also no new cables needed. I was also considering the riser route but if these bars can do what I need I would rather have the more stock look. Thanks

I might have to give them a call tomorrow. I've got the itch again, and I figure if I can't ride it right now I might as well add more crap to it.
