I dont have a jack to get the front wheel off the ground but it should have some resistance. One of the harley mechanics youtube videos shows how to measure the resistance with what is basically a fish scale on the axle. It should be about 10lbs if i remember right.
The 7 inches of rise im referring to is how much rise these bars have and that at full turn the blinkers are about an inch off the tank. Not really geared to you but general info since i had these questions when I was looking at new bars.

can you post a pic of your shifter pedal? Never seen one before.

I think a set of lower "z" bars would look awesome.

How is the buffeting while riding with the 15'' windshield?

I am considering a windshield for longer highway rides and undecided between the 15 or the 19'' HD windshields.

Thanks for any feed back

I bought a 2019 fatboy s in October and finally got it out on the road. I was told that it is a stiff steering bike. Previously I owned a 2017 Sportster and the Fatboy actually seemed to handle better in the turns. I love this bike and am impressed with the ride and, obviously the power. Its going to be a great summer.
