Just sold mine, Didn't like it because it was non adjustable. Had one on my Volusia and it in the perfect position. On my Road King it pushed me too far forward.

My brother just installed one on his 2011 Vulcan Vaquero , and he likes it.
If it needs a tweak , we'll use our 20 ton press and make it work.
I run the Harley non adjustable on mine and like it , it took a bit of fiddling to get the position right , but it works great now.
