Looks great! I was thinking of going with the same handlebar and riser setup. Did the stock clutch cable and brake line work with this? did you have to extend the cables for the hand controls/turn signals?

clutch and brake lines stay the same, but you’ll need a 22 inch speedo extension from Guerrilla Cables to finish the install. Bike feels more responsive and stable in turns and at higher speeds. You won’t regret the upgrade. Find the parts online at cycle parts direct for a good discount.

Removed the reflectors and emblems. Got the bags apart and cleaned up. Bike is 3 weeks old and going to start sanding to paint it tomorrow evening after work.

21 fat bob 114. Swapping out my bags for some biltwell exfil-18. Likely keep the slip ons for now until I can find something cheap. Thinking of going from 6.5" risers and mid bend bars (3.25") up to an 8.5" riser, however I don't want to spend the money on all the extensions because I'm cheap lol. Swapping out for mini floorboards as well, and plans to add a power vision 4 to view/monitor engine capabilities.

Installed the Mueller Easy Pull clutch lever mechanism. Did the Evolution clutch and Man O War compensator a few weeks ago. With the blue springs, that clutch lever was a bit much for my 71 year old pre arthritic hands. Reduced the lever effort I'd guestamate 40-50% just as advertised.
Also, put on a set of new tires (ME888), and installed Bikemaster 90 degree valve stems.

Took the saddlebags apart, cleaned and sanded the texture down and primed the inners. Decent amount of work for something average person won't notice; but If I'm taking apart a bike not even a month old to paint might as well go the extra mile.
