Thanks!
Yes they could be pushed forward 2 to 3 inches from were I have them. To much of a reach for me though.

That looks great. I would however stay away from the chrome rocker switches (assuming you are considering the ones from Drag). I have gone through three sets. The chrome flaked off the first set. The second and third sets that chrome slowly ended up wearing in spots, especially around the little areas where the speaker, aux symbol, etc. were. Went back to the stock switches and am now waiting on the Kuryakyn stainless covers to come in.

What bag are you running with the Vstream windshield? I've been looking for one that is compatible for a while.

Do those Twin Peak bars need wiring or any other extensions? They look great. What is the rise?

These are the 10 inch and I didnt have to extend anything. Just had to reroute everything except the brake line.
