those handle bars sure look nice and comfortable....... not to high or low, and decent pullback/curve to them.

 

15K Service complete.
Can you believe it, Over 11,000 Miles on this bike and I havent even owned it 3 years yet.
I switched back to Formula+ for the Primary, to see if that would help with the neutral finding problem.
The clutch immediately feels muuuch better. I adjusted it to 3/4 turn out.
Now I can spend the summer and see if I cant do 5000+miles in a season.

 

Had a little helper in the garage, and with her assistance it only took about 45 minutes to change out the shock.





Stock on top, taller HD shock on bottom:

 

I did my 25,000 mile service today on the Fatboy, all is well. I check all the boxes in the FSM, it takes me about 3 hours.

The last front tire change I went with a Metz CruisTec at 16,000 and its wearing even. The two OEM Scorchers I had on before were bald on just the right side at 7K. That tells me its not the bike/suspension, its the OEM tires. I'm real happy with the Metz, much better wear than I expected.

For the back tire I went with a Metz 888 first change, and have a Dunlop AE on it now that is wearing real well with 5K on it right now. The 888 didn't wear as good as the OEM Scorcher. I don't really notice and difference in handling with any of the tires, I'm not a canyon carver, and avoid rain, but can't help but get caught once in a while.

 

ha! Fantastic!!!

 

Looks good how much does it settle down when you sit ? Like pic #1?

 

Added saddlebag guards

 

I would guess it looks like pic #1, but I couldn't find anything to rest my phone on to grab a pic and check. My helper can't be trusted with a phone yet either

 

Dropped the heritage off at the shop to have a 3-hole service done and install the 18 inch carlini gangster apes, el presidente risers, new grips, new levers, and bushings. Can’t ****ing wait.

 

I flipped my mirrors. I'll be testing underbar mirrors. I've been wanting to do this for a long time, but my stock and OEM bars+Fat Risers setup was too low for me to do this. It would have contacted the tank.
With the slightly taller bars, they can hover over the tank instead.
This should help with lane splitting because the only time I've ever had contact with a car was the tip of a mirror plinking a car mirror when filtering up to the front.
It was one of the reasons I wanted to try motobars. I wanted something more narrow.
I don't have as good rear vision this way, but I'm going to give it a fair try and get the best I can out of it. Then later I want to put a blind spot mirror on one of them.






Dratz, some how I missed your post, my bad.
They're a great idea. The center section you see I can loosen it and adjust the Sweep angle of the bars as far our or in as I want too.
Makes it really easy to find the perfect setup.
I personally do not like very high bars because they are absolutely awful for body position and slow you down in twisties. But these are as low as I can go with my prototype parts.
I had a Fused setup that I wanted to try but decided not too because it would have required me doing a ton of depinning to feed the wires through the upper bends which was too much work for what I wanted to do. I might try them later, but for now I'm sticking with these classic bends.
