You mean you have to steer a little left or right to go down a straight road in a straight line?
No, mine tracks down the road straight.
I think we are saying the same thing. When the bike is going straight the forks/bars look like they are turned to the right about half inch off center.
Few shots of my breakout after a wash. Changing out the headlight and adding a chin spoiler next week.
Nice looking BO!
Which chin spoiler are you planning to add? I'd have liked to add the HD Softail (is small, has the hole for the voltage regulator, etc...) one but it's not supposed to fit ABS equipped models.
I've seen other brands too but they often cover the voltage regulator or are too far from my taste.

I'm going to put on the thunderbike chin spouler.. it doesn't come vented for the voltage regulator but I'm going to vent the center part myself to correct that and to allow air to pass through the center. Should be pretty easy. I'm thinking 3 horizontal vents right in the middle should be enough. Similar to the vented slots on my heavy breather.. I will also be doing the thunderbike headlight setup as well which I'm looking forward to.

I know both Thunderbike items. Nice looking parts, maybe, if I remember well, a little bit expensive. I agree on the vent choice too. I would have liked the HD spoiler 'cause I have the chrome voltage regulator (not the cover) on my BO and the HD spoiler has the center hole for it. I suppose it's a pity to cover this part. Let's see if there's a way to make it fit. I saw a HDF member that made it on an ABS equipped Fatboy.

Nice. I hope it all works out for you and post some pics when you do so we can check it out.

Hey Hunter,
I noticed in your pics it looks like you have flipped your risers 180 degrees and your bars are sitting higher. How tall are you and how do you find the change. I ask as I am quite tall(6'4") and have been looking at different ideas to bring the bars up a litttle higher. Are you leaning forward much more than the standard setup now?
How about this, Jim. I'm just going to come straight to you whenever I've have an issue with my bike or life in general. You seem to have it all figured out. NO, I couldn't f*cking feel it with my hands. Isn't that what I just told you? The dealership had to run it on a stand as well. Do you want their number so you can square them away too?
