Nice - those FXR Bars are some of my favorites. I even thought about them for my Heritage, but was trying to keep costs down.

I did not use any thread locker. The pushrods are threaded, so you risk thread locker getting into places you really don't want it.

The jam-nuts should be tightened to 20 ft/lbs.

Thanks - it's my first time using FXR Division bars but they are definitely top notch quality. I almost went with the ones that have slight pull back at the top, but I'm glad I didn't 14" bars really put the pull back at the right place for me.

Pulled the wheels for powder coating and ordered a set of Night Dragons, if they don't work out Cruisetec will be my next tire experiment.

Front brake flush on the 2021 Low Rider S. Since I had to swap the upper brake line, I had to do a complete flush.

The Diag4Bike diagnostics/tuning tool made short work of doing the ABS flush the proper way. The front brakes are feeling as good or better than the factory build.

No riding it yet, as we just got a bunch more snow and it's cold AF. 14 miles on the odometer.

New 2022 Heritage and new to Harley. Wondering what folks thoughts are on Hogworkz engine guards? Quality of black paint. Also searching the web some companies offer matte black. Anyone want to comment on this? Thanks

I spent more time depinning the connectors so that I could remove the black plastic conduit and replace it with braided cable sleeve than I did pulling the wiring through the bars! The braided sleeve looks nicer than the black plastic tubing that is OEM, at least IMHO.

Seriously, they have to be one of the easiest sets of bars I’ve pulled wires though, and I’ve don’t a ton of bars over the years.

Did a few add-ons. Lay down license plate, black mirrors and levers and new brake pedal pad. Already had some of the other Willie G stuff put on. Mirrors are HD Buckshot and levers are HD also.

Before - Chrome mirrors and levers.

After - Black mirror and levers.

Willie G Stuff.
