Haha, you don't waste any time!! I just posted that, lol!

With your clutch cable, you got it right on the top, but on the bottom of your bars, have it routed between the tank and bars like you had before and try that.

The CD looks sweet, and it was a cheap fix!

What kind of bar do I get?
Does it bolt up in the stock location?

Get this, bolts right up: http://www.harley-davidson.com/gma/g...bmLocale=en_US

HOWEVER - it wont work unless you have some sort of quick detach system for the bags, reason is that the back of the bullets interfere with the bags. A quick detach system (any) adds additional space between the bags and the fender, and allows the bullets to extend into that space? Makes sense?

In addition to this, I used the Softbrake license relocation bracket to put the plate below the turn sigs, I love it there. (NOTE: if you do get the turn signal bar, get the ROAD KING version of the relo bracket, the heritage version is for the stock lolipop turn sig bar). I also got the Radiantz LED plate bracket which has a nice hidden, downward facing LED bar to illuminate the plate.

I don't have quick connect bags.
There is not a light bar that'll work with the stock bag mounts?

I think someone (J&P) makes a narrower light bar, but its still a lolipop.

[edit] found it: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/320-271 - its a Kury part

Here's a query that may uncover some more options: http://www.jpcycles.com/search/searc...signal&Ntk=All

Here is the narrower lollipop from JP. I think it's a Drag Specialties part. As you can see from the pix, the mounting points are much smaller than the stock bar, and don't (at least on my 94) cover up the mounting holes. HD and Kuryakyn both sell a narrower bar that I'm planning on replacing this POS with.

Yeah ... I was kinda wonderin what reaction some of you guys with the long cholo's get, when you first fit them, and no-one around your parts have ever seen anything like them, when I first came to this forum and saw them, I wasnt struck on them, but they grow on you, and definitely make a statement... Baddass. Good job by the way, like others have said, need lose the lollipops though.
