I'm a new SG owner looking to add better handlebars (Chubbys or PYO, not sure yet). Can anyone recommend a shop or dealer in D/FW with experience making such mods? I really need someone who can help fit the bike to me. I'm 6' 1", 350 pounds (working to lose it), and have a 37" sleeve and a 29" inseam (insert ape joke here). I've already gone to a badlander seat and moved the floorboards forward. I'll probably also add a painted inner fairing (Big Purple Flake) and chrome controls at the same time as the bar swap.
All I've heard from a couple of local dealers is "HD pullbacks", but I really want to find someone who's done a number of these and can make solid suggestions. This is likely going to be expensive, and I only want to do it once. DIY is not an option, both due to a lack of time and a lack of skill on my part.
I'd appreciate any suggestions anyone may have. Thanks.
