Hello, first post on HDforums so I apologize if it's not in the correct place. I just bought this bike off of this site's classifieds. I normally ride sport bikes (MV Agusta) but since my friends like to do longer rides, I decided to get my first touring bike. Just did our first ride last weekend. 1650 miles in 5 days (Chicago to Fort Smith and back). I found that I would like to have highway pegs but with the larger front wheel, the original doesn't fit....looking for suggestions on a crash bar that would work with this set up.
thanks in advance for any assistance
Here is the rundown on work that the previous owner had done: 2011 StreetGlide 10k Miles 103" Twin Cam 121 TQ/ 112 HP Full Vance Hines True Duals PCV with custom tune Aim Lock out clutch Head Work By John Sachs Woods 777 cam Ohlins Shocks By Howard 10" Bars Rockford Fosgate 6.5" Speakers Rockford Fosatge Mini amp Corbin solo seat 23" Thompson Front wheel 18" Rear Matching Thompson All Chrome was powder coated Harley Black
I had to change the air cleaner as my leg would not reach the brake around it (I'm 5'2") I will also be changing the floorboards...this look good, but do nothing for vibration.
Ok F$&KERS. Who was in Sonora with this sweet *** Road Glide. It's got RWD in the rear and inverted Ohlins front which were probably +2, Galfer front brakes and a Fab28. Whoever's bike this is it looks fun AF. I doubt it's from Sonora.
How do you know that bike has RWDs in the rear? Did you look under the bags to find out?

Take a look at the Imzz OG crash bar for baggers. I run one on mine and love it. You could probably rig up some highway peg mounts on it...killer bike by the way, dig the wheels...
My gauge relocation kit from kns customs came in today so I mocked it up. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to modify it. With me wanting to run it on the front of the risers, as it sits I will hit the dash when I turn significantly. Also not happy with the gauge angle. So going to extend and change the angle of the mounting tab. And I'm not knocking kns customs at all. It's a quality piece especially for the price. We just weren't on the same wavelength with what I needed.
After a couple weeks of being out of town and chasing primary noises which included pulling the primary apart twice to swap the comp spring pack and chain tensioner, finally got out for a little night rip. Stupid fun.
