Default New bars for my '06 Springer...
So I got my bars back from the powdercoater and slapped them on Saturday night! The guy that custom made them for me is here in L.A. and can build just about ANYTHING. And he's VERY affordable! The best part is that with these dimensions (5" rise, 2" pull back, 28" tip to tip) all of the stock cables and wires work perfect! Anyone interested in getting bars made or anything else hit me up and I'll shoot you his info....

Your fabricator does some nice work. My first thought was whether you could see anything with the mirrors besides your chest with the new bars?

Hey guys, a little update....

I got some new mirrors, but I think I'm going to run just the one for now. I only had one on my shovelhead chopper so it won't be too much of an adjustment haha


What do you guys think?
