Default Frisco bars and headlight fairing...

A couple things...

1) Gant, I saw your other posts asking where to get the +3 or +4 break lines. Where did you end up finding them? Do you have a link? I looked at a few sites, but nothing that mentioned +anything.

2) I thought I also read that you were going to do the the headlight fairing with these. Did you do this?

I just got my fairing today. Once I slap a couple coats of flat black on it, I'm looking at a set of Nightster bars from my friends bike to hold me over until I buy the Frisco bars (or get them for Christmas)... How much extra wiring were you able to pull out when you made the switch? How much of it did you need to go from stock to Frisco bars? The reason I ask is because I'm doing this on an Iron 883, and the stock bars are shorter than the Nightster bars.

Lastly... How much of a stretch was it to use the stock clutch and throttle lines?

1. magnum shielding got the +3 black stainless line from dennis kirk

2. yes it matches the bike great!


3.wiring is fine didnt have to extend, and the clutch and thorttle lines are PLENTY
