Default You guys are the Devil!

Thought id through in an updated pic of the before and after. Ive kinda got this idea of making it look and run like it should have from the factory not really sure why but i think its already got a good look and dont want to go and mess with it too much. 95" motor 18" AWW wheel lowered new pipe cc seat misc. bling... If only i could find the right bars to complete the look, any suggestions. Also heres one of my grandpa from 1964 on his duo glide with tank shift! also check his other ride in the background. gramps was ballin! Ha!

Nice chart on the '95, and the Duo Glide is sweet. I like T-bars, but I'm in a shrinking minority.

Looks like Gramps is a High Roller!

Bars are a personal thing.....
but since you asked.... I'm thinking drag bars.....
look at 97FXSTSB's or skullhead's bike....
there are a few pictures in the Bad Boy Picture thread

thanks rthomp. i read a thread on the other site about your 103 and damn is all i can say to that. looks like it would haul a$$!! Good work! Ive really been looking at wild ones drag bar with their pullback risers i really liked their knuckle bars but they told me i probably wouldnt like them to much, theyre wide! Flanders has a few sets and i just cant decide if apes would look good or not. its tough when you cant see all these in person.

I like T-bars look and comfort. Go with whats comfortable to you. Apes do look good on a springer.
