With stock seat pretty much spot on, but unfortunately stock seat gets real uncomfortable fast for me (212lbs, 6') The C&C I have puts me back to whee I started as it slides me back. The brake line and cables leave very little more room, I am thinking about trying the stock iron bar.

Hey what can you tell us about the bars? Brake line and cables not stressed? Know the bar measurements? How tall are you and what difference did they make? Thanks.

The Biltwell Moto bars width 31", rise 4.25" and pullback 2.75". Stock brake line and cables fit with no strain. I'm really liking the more upright position, but I must say the stock bars were very comfortable as well. I'm 5'10" so either works but heading for the Scrambler look. The seat is something I'm planning on changing next. I need something taller and allows me to slide back farther.

Thanks for the FXR comment, it's such a pleasure to ride.

Jim

Here is my Roadster. I did a lot of things to it. All works done by me.

6" Riser and Track Grips and Bars
Cowl Fairing
Projector LED Light - installed underneath the headlight.
Arlen Ness STG2 BS Air Filter
Arlen Ness MF Exhaust
FP3 Tuner
Burly Sissy Bar

When winter comes here in NY, I will be changing the risers to 12" and also
change the tank to 4.5 gallons.
