Default LA Choppers T Bars on a Softail Custom

I've had my FXSTC from new since '94 and I’ve recently decided to make some subtle changes to my ride.

I've fitted a Mustang Day-tripper Deluxe seat, which I'm very pleased with. It looks so much better, quite a bit firmer than stock, but ok for 200-300 miles (it does let quiet a lot of vibration come through between 75-85mph).

So, the next thing to do is to change the Bars, Grips and Turn Signals.

I'm thinking of:-
  • LA Choppers 1 1/4" T Bars from Custom Chrome (not sure whether to go for 6" or 8" rise?)
  • Arlen Ness Fusion Smoothie Grips
  • HD Bullet turn signals
I'm 5'11" and I'm just looking for a more aggressive / current riding position but would still wont to keep the comfort to ride 200+ miles without too much pain!



Ride Hard, Fast and Loud,
Mad Dog
