Default 2012 Softail Deluxe Bars & Solo Rack
Hey just wanted to show you guys a couple pics of the New Burly Knuckle bars that I installed, and also the solo rear rack from BK rider. The bars were purchased from Dennis Kirk, and they were relatively easy to install. Let me know what you guys think.

Looks good. Also love that two tone color, almost bought one but settled on a Heritage.

I like the knuckle bars and think your bike is great looking. But I think they look a bit odd with the stock Deluxe pull back risers. Think it would look better with some 1.5 " straight risers.

Yes I am currently using the stock cables, all the lines work fine, but only the front brake line is a little bit on the tight side when I am at full turn to the left.I am not to worried about it as I am going be changing all the cable out for braided ones in 2 weeks.

Very nice bike, nice colors. To me, it seems like the rear fender has to much going on now with having both the bib and the rack though. IMHO it would look much nicer with just the rack. The risers also look a little out of place with those bars too. I am not knocking it, its just how my taste buds roll.......
