very nice pics. Thanks for sharing as I was wondering how the black shocks would look on a roadie. Just confirms my choice to get a set since my bike is the same color plus a sissy back adn rack LOL.

Default sissy bar...

I have the quick detach sissy bar too, just didn't put it on for pictures, use it for planned 2 ups and trips only - think the bike looks cleaner without...thanks

Is that an HD fly screen? And, does it help with head buffeting at highway speeds?

The HD short windshield keeps the wind off your chest, but my head rattles pretty good at 65+ to the point I don't keep it at the higher speeds for any length of time. It becomes too distracting......If the flyscreen keeps the wind off you and minimizes head buffeting, I might give one a try.

Metric on an HD - Had to go buy tools just to put it on...I don't get much head buffeting - but I've been riding with no windshield since July 13th...when I bought the bike I used the HD quick detach that came with it once on a trip to S.D. Took it off and never put it back on...after 20 years of not riding - riding the wing for 1 1/2 years now the sporty - I'm loving the wind...and bugs...the blowing sand...the rain...nothing like a little pain to let you know you're still alive...

Looks good. Are you planning on leaving the bike at that height in the rear? or are you gonna lower it down an inch or two?
