Looked at it again yesterday ,the best thing is to draw up a set of pull back drags with a cross bar in front of the spedo..get any indy shop in your area to bend up a set ,have them powder coated...it will prob.be cheaper than buying a set of carlini or any of the better companys,the bike is to new to find a set made for them,guys that have not seen it don't realize that the bars come out of the tubes,real weird of harley!!

judging by the godawful pictures HD put up on their site, i would have thought it came with a mini-ape option, since there's a picture of one with apes on it.. looks alot better.

I've tried to think of a situation where reflectors on the sides of the fork legs could prevent an accident, and I just can't think of one.

If they don't notice the lights on your bike, they aren't going to notice reflectors.

There is probably an old thread on this ...

Can you loosen the bars and twist them back toward you like rabbit ears?
