I don't have the struts, but I know from past experiance, that biltwell is a stand-up company. I am actually looking into a few more products from them. I would also be interested to see how the struts look installed. I don't remember seeing any on the site.

I've been riding on these for about 2 years now and I can't complain. If your buddy can tolerate the rigid ride then tell him to go for it. If not, he'll also be wanting a spring solo seat.

Riding with struts is pretty hard core, riding with struts and NO seat, now thats a totally different breed! JK, the bike looks sharp man.

HAHA. Thanks. I've been meaning to take an updated pic. I like your bars and your reclocated speedo. If I had gone with the drag bar look I would have done the same.
