So yesterday I had off from work for a change, got these drag bars in the other day, so I decided to throw them bitches on and ride around town with them.

At first I thought the ride wasn't going to be very comfortable, but I kninda like the position I'm in while I'm riding it. I think it feels a lot better than my stock bars. We'll see when I can bring it out for a bit longer.

Anyways, long story short, here's some pics I took this morning...












Not a huge fan of the speedo where it is. I was either gonna get the HD headlamp visor and see how I liked it, or just relocate the speedo. Not sure yet.

 

One thing...

Anyone have any good tricks to keep the left side grip in place? It doesnt seem to want to stop spinning like my throttle does..

 

Yeah, something has to be done with the speedo......other than that.......I like it.

 

you can get some glue for grips, may not come off again though.

how's riding on wet asphalt without the front fender? Mirrors clear the tank okay?

Looks great. There's a thread on here somewhere, a member that makes speedo relocation brackets.

 

wow, really nice, I think you just switch me over from gettin mini apes....I have a speedo and a tach, so my bike will look super dork. you should get the speedo relocation kit, great looking bike.

 

what kinda bars are those? I need to pick some up.

 

I like it! bars look great..id probably swap out the mirrors for something else, smaller maybe? black ones?.. i dont' know. looks good.

 

Yeah, the mirrors are big and bulky, those are gonna get swapped out, and they clear the tank just fine (they didn't with my stock handlebars).

I got these bars:

I still don't understand why they mount that big tumor of a speedo like that on sporties. I thought they had it figured out on the "48", but they still keep mounting that tumor like that stock.

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 was gonna do mini apes too but I would have had to get wire extensions and throttle cable extensions and a clutch extension. This was so much easier and cheaper. I warn you though, the bars i got didnt have the notches for the wiring, so I had to drill some holes and run the wires internally.

Nice profile pic, btw. the crimson ghost.
