Default A little different look

I decided after a year of owning the road glide I didn't like the look it had. It was kind of plain. I had installed a fuel moto head pipe and jackpot mufflers as well as a set of 12" kst handlebars all as shown.





Also I had added the aftermarket lowers and Polk speakers as well as changing out the fairing speakers and putting a Rockford amp in the fairing. The bike just felt ordinary to me and the handlebars seemed uncomfortable as well, at times my hand would fall asleep on a long ride so decided it was time for a change up. I installed a set of West coast t bars 14" mxt style and a rush wrath exhaust system as well as a 12" freedom shield on the bike. It is much more comfortable with these narrow bars on it and definitely no longer looks/sounds run of the mill.

How difficult is it now to see the radio screen and gauges? Looks like they are right in between the line of sight. Just curious

I can see the volt and gas gauge as well as the radio without any obstruction. The tach and speedo are partially blocked but not horribly. I do wish they made a way to mount those gauges differently but maybe later down the road.

I liked it before, and I like the after EXCEPT the bars.
But it's your bike and your comfort that counts.

I know the bars are an acquired taste and not for everyone, but I just could never get used to the width of most other bars, I'm narrow across the shoulders. These bars are only 31" wide and offer a very nimble feel.
