edit. Dealer just called and said bike will be delivered this coming Wednesday, it's like Xmas in March! Just have to find a good home for the Bob now...
I like the stock bars, I'm 6'2 and always need to change something, after a few hundred mile I got used to them and don't think I will be changing them out anytime soon. Even the seat feels pretty good so far.

All I've done so far is change the exhaust before I left the dealer and switch to AMSOIL at the 1000 mile service .

Love the bike. Don't miss my FatBoy at all.

I'm also 6'2" and put a Tallboy seat on the day I bought it. It pushes me back 2 inches too. I road a couple thousand miles with the stock bars in that configuration when I replaced them with the Heritage-style bars which I pulled back. The last 25,000 miles since the switch have been ideal!

Thanks! Yeah, I like purple too. Harley calls it Psychedelic Purple. My '08 sportster color was Purple Haze.
