tell me ,,,,, what feels better now, hog heaven or sex?

Depends, are you talking first time on a new ride or daily driver?

After a long timeif the hog don't ride so good you can trade it or at least rent another without the original getting mad

That's cool. Enjoy the ride. I just traded my Electra Glide for a RK standard, and I'm pretty happy.
Howd ya like those bars though?

Well, either the bars or the saddle have to go. I have to reach a bit more than I should. On longer rides this becomes a bigger problem of fatigue. Probably even on shorter ones too. But I need to put in some miles to better asses (pun intended

) the situation. The saddle really doesn't feel too bad but I can't put a back rest on it. So it may have to go because I will want a back rest.

If the saddle is going, I don't want to put new bars on it before hand and then find out that with a new saddle I don't like how the bars fit.

Now all that aside I do like the beach cruiser bars. But the dealer qouted me $1700-$1800 for WIld Ones (508?) with braided cables and installation. Seems awfully high.

Decisons, decisions!

And, thanks everybody!
