They are basically night train bars & risers.Alot of people ask me what kind I have b/c it looks a little different, it has a tank lift on it. There is a company that sells it(you can see the brackets if you look close on the front of the tank) I found it in the back of a local magazine. I can't remember the name right now. IMO it adds a nice angle that compliments the Deuce's dash.
I'm not a big fan of the black back wheel now that it is on. It's ok but I think there is too much black on the back now.I shouldn't have been such a tight *** and went for the matching back wheel,rotor, & pulley(but I do have to pay for my wedding in Aug[:'(])
The paint is 02 Harley Custom paint w/ a greenish/gold ghost flame. When I bought the bike everybody wanted the 100th Anniv. paint & my dealer had these tins for sale so we traded even up.

RE: photo
showner,
I put in a set of Progressive 422's they have 2" of adjustment, i was going to do the bolt kit with standard shocks but, i heard of too many complaints about bottoming and ride quality. I did some research, put a post in the softail section for feed back, did some more research and then pulled the trigger on these.
I ride solo all the time and only need to worry about myself (wife doen't want to ride-yet!!) You can adjust the preload quite easily, they send a wrench with the shocks. I am sure i will have to play with the set up. I am 210 lbs not sure how its going to ride.
I bought then from phat performance parts, 385.00/free shipping/free t -shirt. Check the softail forum for my original post (progressive 422) there are a few people running them. I will let you know how it rides when i get some seat time.
Bike looks totally different!!!!

Dropping that rear makes a HUGE difference!! That looks awesome Blue... You did new shocks?? What brand? I was thinking about lowering mine some. The only prob is I'm not the smallest guy. I'm about 225-230 & my fiance is about 155... I just don't want to bottom out on these ruff roads we have around here[:@]

bluedeuce, That looks awesome. That's the perfect height in my opinion. I'm really starting to lean toward a new set of shocks now. This forum is going to make me spend all my money.

Softails leave a LOT to be desired when it comes to a decent ride, and a stud kit in their junk stock shocks will only make the ride worse. A set of progressives will still deliver a decent ride when lowered.

I have the bolt kit in now. I can't think of anytime I've had a problem with this setup, but I guess I just don't know what I'm missing. If I can get my bike more comfortable than I think it already is by changing the shocks, I think it may be in the plans.

RE: photo
Bike looks great, would be even better if i could ride it. The clutch cable came back the right length but the wrong finish...[:@][:@] The shop is going to put my stock clutch cable on for me so i can ride this weekend, then i will have to bring it back. The front of my bike is going to look like crap!!!! Not the shops fault, cable makers fault....
