Default New bars for ma baby.

The other day I rode with my buddy who has an Iron883. I noticed his bars are shorter then mine. I was wonerring if anyone has swapped the bars on their Nighty for some off an Iron? And if they had any problems with flipped mirrors?

Doing the mirror mod is pretty easy...just takes some slight adjusting afterwards to avoid hitting the tank at full turn...if you dont like it just switch them back...

I recently did Drag Bars and the mirrors still do not hit anything...plus I can actually see better with them now...

The handlesbars are smaller on the Iron. The are shorter and dont have such a rise on them. They are closer to drag bars....and yes the flipped mirrors 100% fit and clear!!!!!!!!
