The new non heated grips, and the new mirrors. These bars changed the whole feel of the bike. I'm going to find it hard to go back after feeling these. They're solid and the feedback from the road is awesome.

Bad ***!

Waiting to go T bars on my SG. What rise on risers? 10"? Those look just about perfect to still catch the gauges.

10" yes. The guages are still perfectly visible. I dont use the BOOM so losing that isnt an issue and I can still see the clock. I added the RokForm so if I need nav, I'll use my phone.

Yep, same here. I use the display for specs display like temp and oil psi, hardly tunes. I have a standard so nav has always been off the phone. Looks great! I'm gonna hold out for Lucky Daves HH setup. I don't want to lose the ignition as I have a standard and I'd have to pop extra $$$ for the delete through HD on top of the swap cost. Not too mention, I'm a big fan of heated grips and I can retain HD grips with their setup.

I should know myself better by now. I was going to let someone else finish it, but being bored I got the new bracket mounted up, only trimming needed is going to be on the inside to clear the top tree, then drill out for the windshield, toss the headlight in, and it's done! Fitment is so much better with the Souza's Cycle bracket, anyone going FXR fairing on a touring bike I can't recommend this bracket enough - hit up @souzascycles on IG if you're looking. Oh, crash bar didn't clear it, so ditched it and the saddlebag guards and I'm digging the look even more.

Original bracket, for reference...huge difference IMO.

The ignition delete was free at the dealer, and I'm liking how convenient it is. No more forgetting to turn it off and killing the battery. Didn't know Lucky Dave's was working on somthing. I'm interested, if only out of curiosity, to see it.

Looks better pulled in like you got it. Nice you go it figured out. You had the full engine guard. The 21 and up chopped guard would fit. I ditched the full guard and went with the chopped. I like the pegs for the long rides.

Had mine up in the ozarks all last weekend with the wife so the baby tour pack and comfy seat had to go on, but she got flogged around the mountains for 4 days and had a great time. Very satisfied with the Geezer Glide front and rear suspension.

Not completely thrilled with the bar setup, it was a compromise to see gauges and in a comfortable position it still cuts the tops of the gauges off at my height so I’ll be doing a full thrashin setup over the winter I believe and just move the gauges up where I can see them.

Well, it’s a Road King again. Thought long and hard about what to do with the fairing (so hard that I haven’t even ridden it more than a couple times since I put it on) that I decided to take it off and stash it away until I can afford to have someone that knows what they’re doing finish it up and trim/cut as needed to fit with the new bracket. Not giving up on it, I still think it’ll look sick when I’m done, but the fact it only takes me about an hour to put it back to stock is nice too.
