Nice profile pic, btw. the crimson ghost.

Damn it, I just ordered them, Thats cool though, i will drill the holes as well, I think I am going to paint the black as well. What size did you bit did you use to drill? could you take some up close photos of the wiring running in and out of the bars?

We are 138!

Joker Machine has a bracket to relocate the speedo to the side. if ya wanna pay that kind of money for it. I have an older bike and just used a big hose clamp to get it on the fork. You bike looks damn good with the drag bars on it. what size is it? I've got 28.5 on mine. got a set of 26" coming in soon.

the bars are like 27" or something like that. perfect size, not too wide, but not ridiculously short like some drag bars

Bunch of freakin idiots....

Do they do any "real" research? If they did they would realize that about 7 out of 10 re-locate it and buy aftermarket. If the MoCo had a clue about this, they would at least make an HD relocation kit to bang people some more.

I swear they are clueless about some things.

I agree 100% I know alot of you guys don't like it, but I love the speedo under set up that my 1200C had. I know it does not work with the 3.3 tank, but still something like that is better than the speedo sticking up in the air like that. I relocated my speedo and tach down to on top of the headlight eyebrow and it looks better, but still not great as you still see them front and center. I feel sometimes HD does not care about how some stuff looks and just goes the easy route.
