I haven't ridden it yet, but sitting in there it is way more comfy. Everything bolted up. The kickstand is a challenge to put down, but not to put it up. The exhaust is close also so I will have to watch my boots and pant legs.

There is no doubt they will scrape more. They go much further towards the back of the bike and are lower. I will just have to ride the bike a little higher in the turns.

I like them. It's gonna be a pain at first trying to figure out how much you can lean without scrapping too much but it's a small price to pay.

A small update. Some months ago I asked about the possibility to install the OEM HD spoiler on my ABS equipped BO. HD says it fits non ABS Softails.
As 24V suggested, I risked and pulled the trigger. It hasn't been a PITA install neither the smoother but it worked. Only needed to add a small rectangular backplate (then painted in black to hide it almost completely) to join the rear stock bracket that retains the ABS module. Quite happy of the result so far. Chromed voltage regulator looks nice sorrounded by this clean profile spoiler. In that occasion I also installed the side license plate holder to clean the rear fender. Now only need Progressive shocks (already ordered) to lower the rear in order to reduce the gap between fender and tire.
Next step will be the Thunderbike rear fender install and, maybe, something else...
