Also, these are grade 5 bolts. Please don't go cheap and get lesser grade bolts. Peace of mind and all that jazz..

Sorry, was not on this weekend. I cut the zip ties to bring the bar up. The break line loses its slack when turned all the way left but it's not tight. The stop on the bike stops the forks, not the break line

Um, trying to understand the question without being sarcastic, lol.

It's 1.5 inches higher than the trees holding the bar

LOL, messing with you. If you look at the angle it may close to an inch closer and higher.

A few years working in the middle east so I figured bugger it and got a black CVO breakout. The mortgage can wait! About all I can think of to do to this thing is the pipes, and the V&H 2 into 2 looks very cool, and I'll put a set on in the next 6 months or so. I put a removable sissy bar on so I can carry some stuff for longer trips, and that's about it... I think that's the lots for now. I seriously love that bike!

Just curious, with that 2" drop, how often does it bottom out? and could we get a shot of it from behind?
