Awesome scoot! You can see my pics under my garage. As far as being beat up by riding a sportster, I changed all my shocks to progressives(440's on the back). My bike rides smooth and I dont get flipped out of the seat going over railroad tracks anymore. I put 10k miles on my nightster and I have only had it 13 months now. Looking to trade up for a Dyna only due to the longer rides I go on. After 250 miles I need a stretch, and doing 80 mph for long periods of time is probably pressing the motor a bit....

Looks great!

How was the bar swap? I just ordered the same ones and I'm not quite sure what, if any, extensions I'll need.

Any tips installing those exact bars on that exact bike would be appreciated. It'll be my first bar swap

The Only Cable I had to change was the Brake Line... everything else worked fine with the bars and i have even added 2" Risers and still no cable swap was needed. I would say keep an eye on the throttle cable ends on the grip they tend to want to fly off lol. You will see what i mean
