New Set up on the Roadster this winter. I am getting rid of the Biltwell risers and bar. Doing a mock up on HCP risers and Pro Taper bar for extended cables and wires.

Is that under triple clamp light going to hit the front fender during hard braking or heavy bumps? Typically there's not a lot of room there.

if that fender ever made contact with that light, he'd have bigger issues to worry about and would probably be seeing it upside down....


extremely unlikely.

Not sure if I ask you this on another thread, but how much did you get out of your rear tire? I got 4,600 and mine was pretty done. Put stock back on as could find no options.

Moving forward with the build. I finally finished the first part. Ran all the wires inside the bar and risers. Here are some pics, looks really clean and sharp. Just waiting on the control cables and I'm set to ride this winter again.

i like the cover on the risers. When i was looking for 1-1/4" risers i saw the hardcase and forbidden risers... the clamp areas were not easy on the eyes.

You have the same set up?

The machine cuts on the HCP is cool, you don't see that on any other manufacturers. Forbidden is so so...

no, i was looking for my dyna. I cant find 1-1/4 clamp risers. Have been running dk 3" extensions wanted a solid set of no pull-back 8"+ risers.. they don't exist for my stock bar and no one will make customs. Sent emails and made calls.... "no, we dont do that"
