So after doing A LOT of looking around I've come up with these...
http://www.hillcountrycustomcycles.c...lack-P858.aspx

What feed back do you guys have about these bars, their site, & the wires/cables?
That's a good chuck of change to dish out for the kit, but if it all installs smoothly, & works. To me it's worth the money! Aside from some light grinding on the factory riser. Do you think it will be a smooth install, or heard of anyone running them?

Sorry for the 100 questions, & thanks for all your help!!!

I am in the process of installing 14" Road 6 Customs Z bars. Ordered off their website. Comes with the Burly extensions and cables. Love the look. I'll get back to you on the ride.

I am running Pipedreams "Nightmares" and love everything about them.

Your very welcome!

Well if all goes as planned I will have my first Harley around 6:30 tonight! I got the loan for high book ($8.5k) & talked the guy down to $6.6! I'm gonna order the above hangers, V&H short shots, & the raider forward controls tonight. Then raise the tank an inch or so
