Just get them on top of the bars and don't worry about your stereo. We all use our phones anyways...

Anyone have the issue of transmission oil blowback? I'm taking up to the Dealer friday. Didn't see this issue the first 20k. My research on the topic shows that 2017-19 have a crappy oil pump?

Youll have to clarify. Transmission and oil pump are two totally separate issues with different symptoms and solutions, but both do exist.

Yes some oil pumps were crap. This would cause sumping. - supposedly 2020+ is fixed but Id personally go with fueling or SS if youre changing it anyway.

Also, some transmissions transfer their oil into the primary, emptying the trans and overfilling the primary. - HD vent or thicker push rod fixes this.

Reason I did shorter risers with gauges on top and taller bars, is to not block the GPS.

So I've got the trackerdie +2 damper rods coming in this week and one thing I didn't think about was brake lines. Are you guys that run +2 up front having to extend your lower lines or have they had enough slack?

I went with stock dyna street bob tubes so I'm about 3" taller in front with no issues on stock cables. I didn't touch the dampeners though.
