Looks nice,
I need to do some homework to be sure the cables on the wife's bike are long enough for that rise.
What year is your bike?

Thanxs
Colin

05 Custom. The nice thing is that riser cover hides all the wiring.

I just looked at her bike, I may have to add a longer front brake cable but no big deal.

You do know I am in Canada right?

PM me your game plan

I put a set of buckhorns on mine. At $31 from J&P they can be set more comfortable for a variety of riders. Looks great also.

I have a 2017 SuperLow and like yours with the indicators not on the bars I simply swung them down to get a closer reach.


I am 5' 5" and initially my arms were reaching up which lead to fatigue. I found that with my arms lower the ride is a lot more comfortable.

I have a 14 xl1200t, risers are cast into the triple tree. I looked at changing the risers or bars, there were some spacer blocks that would lift them straight up, I looked at a lot of different bars. If you go the bar route, keep an eye on the width tip to tip, she might not like them much wider than stock. I never pulled the trigger on bars though. It's an excellent bike though, totally enjoy it, just painful leaning forward all the time to reach the bars.

I should have mentioned she did swap out to a Mustang solo seat which she really likes and pretty sure it pushed her back an inch or so??
I tried adjusting the bars and still not comfortable for her, short arms I guess lol.
